Fedora Core 1 rebooting itself....

[Peter Santiago]

My fedora installation is rebooting by itself...
There were no core dumps whatsoever.... how do I troubleshoot this?

I have already disabled SNORT, thinking that this might have contributed
to my hanging problems before....

latest entries from /var/log/messages regarding the last reboot.
