Tech note
We went down again last night just before changeover. That was about ten minutes after I went to bed. The time turned out to be crucial. I was able (finally) to isolate the problem, which is a Linux kernel bug.That's the good part. The bad part is that it looks like there are any number of things that might set it off. I'm guessing it's kernel-hardware specific, since other installs of the same release I've got show different bugs. I've dumped two programs left over from when I was originally setting up the box. I want to back up the whole machine and do an upgrade, but I'll have to work up my nerve to do it. I may wait until it goes down again. The previous box was ultra-stable. I used to reboot it every 120 days or so normally. Posted by: Fred 2014-05-15 |
