Hi all, When I came in yesterday morning my box had done some form of crash. Couldn't telnet in, keyboard wouldn't respond, nothing.
After nasty reboot and messy things I checked all the log files but could find nothing unusual, last /var/log/messages showed a check at 8.15 am then nothing.
The box has a ups connected to give it back-up power so can't have been due to a power blip.
Two questions: 1. why would this happen? (answer 42 or fish?)
2. I have to re-enter all the network card stuff manually insmod rtl8139 route add network stuff restart samba daemons etc etc each time the box restarts...a).why doesn't the rtl8139 module get discovered automatically (it is in etc/modutils) and b)can I add all this stuff to a startup script in debian?
(Three questions cleverly disguised as two)
Thanks, Jenny.
