Desperate - FreeBSD 6.0 Freezing

Derek, all,

Regarding my recent system freeze ups, here is a list of software and 
hardware.

Some other notes:

At one point a week or so ago, I setup a ipfw firewall rule to allow access 
in port 3396 for a client who required remote access to it. I am still 
awaiting work to see if thier connection attempts coincided with the freez 
ups. I have since removed the firewall rule.

The server has ran flawleslly sine November. No hardware changes have been 
made since it was installed and tested.

It is running a custom kernel, because of the DRAC 4 card - it needs to use 
a usb keyboard, as noted in dmesg below.

What I am really looking for is simply a way to see what software / hardware 
crashes the machine. Once identifies, should be easy to fix.

It is a Dell PowerEdge 1850, Vintage November 2005.

Basic hardware (dmesg below).

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz (2992.71-MHz 686-class CPU)
Intel(R) PRO/1000  (x2 emo, em1)
da0: <SEAGATE ST373207LC D701> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing 
Enabled
da0: 70007MB (143374650 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 8924C)
Dell DRAC 4 remote access card. (on mother board dedicated riser).
real memory  = 536608768 (511 MB)
avail memory = 515784704 (491 MB)

Ther are no other external devices attached, no keyboard,. no mouse or 
monitor.

Basic Software:

MySQL 4.1.13 (installed from ports)
Apache 2.1.4
PHP 4.4.0 (from ports, installed into apache as static mod).

  It is likely a hardware issue, so please detail the hardware you are 
using.  You may also want to remove any unneeded hardware in the server.

    Hi all,

    I am getting server 'freeze ups". 4 in the past 3 days, on a very new 
server with no apparent hardware issues.

    There is nothing showing in any log anywhere. The sytem just stops 
responding.

    Can anyone help me with understanding how to setup crash dumps and how 
to get to them and root cause the issue after the fact?

    -Grant
