Greetings
I am quite new at running a server so hopefully the question isn't too
out there.
My server has been operational for about a year and I am working on a
number of different projects on it. Twice now (this last friday and 5
weeks early I came into the office to find that the server has somehow
been taken down and has rebooted itself (process setup in the bios)
but as it doesn't quite complete the boot process, I have to hit a key
to tell it to continue and then finally to log in to read Debian
(stable).
Who does the stopping? BIOS or Linux kernel?
Bios - - - need to hit F2 (IIRC) to kick the bios in the pants and
then I can get
to the os prompt a little later.
Google for "Server stuck at F1 or F2 prompt". Depending on your vendor,
you will get quite a bit of information on probable causes and
diagnostic processes. I had to debug a work Dell with that a while ago,
and sometime in my Copious Spare Time Intel server (;-))
