Yesterday one of our server crashed. I logged into DRAC console and rebooted the machine. A few minutes it crashed again so I rebooted once more. Then it crashed again a few minutes later but this time I managed to get a screenshot of the terminal.
This is what it said:
After next reboot I instantly stopped the da-popb4smtp process and since then it has run smoothly. I'm not 100% sure that da-popb4smtp has anything to do with this, though. It could be the case that the page fault doesn't occur anymore and when I managed to get a screenshot it happend to be da-popb4smtp which was the current process.
I did update DirectAdmin to 1.292 (from 1.28 I think) earlier that day (14.57). The server first crashed somewhere around 15:50.
It is running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE.
What could be the cause of the problem? Bad memory?
Is there any point of "defining a dump device"? And how is that done?

Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
