did you try sending from a different server thereafter? I've seen a failure mode where a machine appears to be up, but slowly stops accepting ever more tcp connections over time, until the system comes to a grinding halt, the last thing being becoming unresponsive to ping and finally, console lockup, on several machines. They are all different hardware, but are intel or AMD CPUs. I've seen this for a long time (years), but have no way to reproduce it, and also no way to catch debug info in the actual cases (eg. "boot crash" doesn't do anything), and therefore not reported it, since you don't want incomplete bug reports. I was so far unable to detect a pattern. A machine usually runs fine for months, then takes a few hours or up to 2-3 days, to get into that state. If it happens, I can usually only press the reset button. If I may have a wish granted, then please, pretty please, try to keep USB, and especially USB keyboards, alive for as long as possible, because otherwise, I can't do anything in most cases of such a lockup. > For what reason would he do that? I don't know, either, but since he's allegedly on the road, it might be difficult for him to fix it soonish, if it is a problem like the one described above. Kind regards, --Toni++
