We can look at this. Actually, there are a few possible explanations. 1). 0.4.8 used openntpd. We switched to ntpd because it has been more reliable. I've seen openntpd stop functioning and really cause problems. 2). When you boot the new system with runnix. Is runnix obtaining an IP address? If so, is it the same IP address that your device uses AFTER it's booted? You mentioned a static IP address for Astlinux, but dhcp for runnix. Perhaps your switch is caching the MAC address and confusing the initial network functionality. (just throwing that out there). Try setting both to the same static IP address and gateway or setting both to dhcp to see what happens. > BTW: Is there any newer prebuild 0.6 geni386 image than 1907? Yup. I'm building some 0.6 images from SVN 1957 today and will upload them later. I had a major issue with my server yesterday afternoon so I was busy working that out. Cross your fingers for me that it stays running.
