Hi all, well, as determined yesterday my spontaneous reboot problem, which was occuring after a pause at the "Sep 22 09:02:25 Xen1 kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex" point has nothing to do with the e100 network problem. After taking out the console=ttyS0 line, I see that things get further. Looking at my syslog reveals little about what''s actually going wrong however. Here''s the output: Sep 22 09:02:27 Xen1 rpc.statd[1350]: Version 1.0.6 Starting Sep 22 09:02:27 Xen1 rpc.statd[1350]: statd running as root. chown /var/lib/nfs/sm to choose different user Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 ntpd[1379]: ntpd 4.2.0a@1:4.2.0a-11-r Tue Jul 27 04:55:54 CEST 2004 (1) Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 ntpd[1379]: precision = 1.000 usec Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 ntpd[1379]: Listening on interface wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 ntpd[1379]: Listening on interface eth0, 10.10.10.242#123 Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 ntpd[1379]: Listening on interface lo, 127.0.0.1#123 Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 ntpd[1379]: kernel time sync status 0040 Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 /usr/sbin/cron[1407]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3) Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 /usr/sbin/cron[1412]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok) Sep 22 09:02:28 Xen1 /usr/sbin/cron[1412]: (CRON) INFO (Running @reboot jobs) I''m going to try deactivating ntpd for a start. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? Cheers for your help, Paul. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
