Hi,

I've got some bizzare & annoying problem in some of our servers. All other servers dont have this unknown restart issue. Only the PPPoE servers restart. When it restarts, it shows this message:

"kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?"

I did searches on google, didn't find anything regarding this issue, but i found few similar searches; there were unknown solutions for this. Some showed that it was something to do with the RAM, but i checked that, it doesn't have anything to do with it.

The pppoe servers are "IBM eserver xSeries 336"

The specifications of these servers:

CPU: 1 x86_64 3.0Ghz processors (Cache: 1024 KB) Intel Xeon
