Hmmm ... No, I have not had that opportunity. The server is located 2000km away from me, and I usually call a guy (who is not a technician)to go in and press CTRL-ALT-DEL on a keyboard. That is the short-time "fix". But I'm going to have a look physically on the server in a couple of weeks, so if I get positive feedbacks from others as well regarding 2.6.27 kernel, I'm willing to try that upgrade. This interface is an on-board interface in an IBM eServer. The first time it happened, it was no problems for about 28 days. Now it was 13 days. So I expect it to happen again, soon enough. I'll try to hack the shutdown scripts to dump the ifconfig info somewhere somehow. kind regards, David Sommerseth
