It could be an kernel bug as well. I don't know what exactly was buggy in 4.3 but it would be good idea to reinstall the server to 4.5. Logging in this case cannot help. Ideally you could make the machine fall into DDB if you have compiled it in your kernel. > Anyone know of an extended logging feature that I can use in conjunction > with syslogd to log everything that is going on? No. You can try to compile your kernel with option DEBUG but still it won't generate a bunch of printk() kernel messages..
