| Hi,
I am using Linux 3.0. After continous running for 3 days, my system got
hanged up. Now, even "Num lock" key and "Caps Lock" key interrupts are
not getting invoked. I also tried to ping the system from other system,
this is also not responding.
I want to see the kernel logs or the cause for the hang. The alternate
seems is to restart the system. But i want to know the cause for this
hang.
Can anybody tell me the way to save the kernel logs that had happened
in this situation, so that i can figure out that which process has
created this situation.
If i will restart the machien, I will loose the kernel logs. Also,
please tell me whether the /var/log/messages also contain the kernel
logs or just the user logs.
Thanks in advance.

Most of us are still using Linux 2.6, I didn't think even 2.7 had been
released. I think you are using version 3.0 of a Linux distribution,
perhaps Debian or Red Hat Enterprise?

Google on the words "magic sysrq". If you have to reboot, the files in
/var/log might help. A complete lockup is usually the result of a
hardware problem, such as bad memory or overheating.
