title: linux crashes without syslog message
body: <p>I have a server which is crashing.  The server runs a small number (3-5) of VMware machines.  It sometimes crashes when I start a new VM.  There are no messages in syslog or in the vmware log.  All I see on the console is the boot messages.</p>
  
  <p>The system has 32Gb RAM.  Each of the VM's uses 2-4Gb.  I suspect memory problems, but a full run of memtest86 doesn't show any problems.  </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how to capture the cause of the crash?  </p>
