Hardware strikes! After the email and all the next week trying stuff, apt-get just became worse and worse, to the point that after a dist-upgrade (7.3 to 7.3) :-), it completely stopped booting, lilo gave garbled test before the prompt, and mounting/chrooting to the system via another same redhat dist gave seg faults a plenty.
oh no .. open the case, and the CPU fan was stopped, ceased solid, and the Motherboard, a little too hot for our hands. In short, new MB, installed debian woody, and we restored from backups the data, hey presto, 4 hrs later a working system, running smooth. After this, I promptly went out on the weekend and replaced my own currently working 2 year old CPU fan, with a new one. I just can't afford the day when it stops, and for $8, I was happy. Hardware sucks when it fails. On Sat, 9 Aug 2003 22:25:05 +1000, Laurie Savage wrote > I had the same problem.
