-security and -stable rebooting every 24hr since Aug 11th
I have what was a -security box now running -stable that seems to be rebooting exactly every 24hrs give or take a few minutes (guessing from disk checks) this started on Aug11th which was after I upgraded to a newer -security for one of the patches. I am aware of the PAE issues going on which is why I tried going up to -stable, as I have seen the messages saying 'fixed'. I am not sure if this is the cause still/at all, or if it is something else going on. *I* have not done any hardware tests as the system was running stable for a few months prior to this, and I have never seen hardware crash that accuratly. The system is locked down pretty tight, I dont think it has been comprimised but I am open to suggestions. I dont think it is a single task that is scheduled that is causing it either, all crontabs are empty, and if I turn the server off for a few hours it will shutdown/reboot 24hrs from that point. Let me know if there is any more info anyone needs, as this one has me stumped. -Andrew -- Andrew Stuart http://www.tekrealm.net Brooke's Law: Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
