Need help troubleshooting recent crashes thru the shell

[tha_toadman]

Hey all.

My box has recently been having more trouble than usual. I've had 2 crashes where I've sent logs on to the devs but overnight last night I had a full blown kernel panic. I hooked up a monitor and saw the errors on screen but I proceeded to physically reboot the machine. My initial thought is its a hardware failure but I need help with the shell commands that I need to issue in order to troubleshoot this one further. Can someone guide me through the process?

Thanks!

I'm now getting hit with this every 5th minute in my inbox:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/graph.py", line 480, in <module>GenerateInterfaceGraph()
  File "/usr/local/bin/graph.py", line 135, in GenerateInterfaceGraph
    'GPRINT:global_tot_tx:ca. %5.1lf%s Total\l'
rrdtool.error: Could not save png to '/tmp/graph/if-[myNIChere]-1h.png'</module>

I'm starting to lean towards a backup and then a fresh reinstall. Thoughts?
