[lug] Reboot Problem

[Bill Wimsatt]

I apologize for the HTML. I had just sent a message to a customer that
required some formatting.

I am surprised that the supposition is HW related. That would be a mess.

I have a server that has been running RedHat
7.2 for several months with no problems. I restarted a daemon last
evening
and
now the server reboots itself indiscrimantly: on
start of Gnome, on start of terminal shells, on start of daemons…
I do
not think it is a file system problem. Sometimes Gnome will start with
very
erratic mouse behaviour (uncontrollable) which leads
me to believe it is an X corruption, but other times it starts fine.
Very
strange behavior. Anyone care to take a shot on the
problem and (most importantly) a fix (I do not want to rebuild the
server).

 

Regards,

Bill Wimsatt

 





Seriously, this is the ugliest message I have ever seen in my life. 
Sending HTML email to mailing lists really has an impact on how people
on
the list perceive you . . .

Anyway, 10:1 it's a hardware issue.  Try dropping the drive in a similar
box and/or put a spare drive in the Linux box and put an OS on it for
testing.
