Hi List,
I'm running Centos 5.2 on an Pentium III-1000
The box has been running for almost a year without any (hardware) issues.
SInce a few weeks the box goes into standby (power led flashes) without any obvious reason (ie. i cannot find anything). This happens randomly (box runs for 1 day and does this, next time it runs for 5 days and it happens). Normally when a box goes into standby, you should be able to start it again pressing the power button, but this does not work. I have to completely unplug it and then it boots up again (after plugging it in again ;-))
I thought it was due to a kernel upgrade from 2.6.18-92.1.6 to 2.6.18-92.1.10, but after a downgrade the same issue occurred
I have checked about all settings (loaded modules, logfiles, bios etc.) I have stopped the acpid, still no go... cpuspeed is not running... Bios has got all powermanagement stuff disable..
So basically i am looking for some hints on solving this...
Anyone...?
CPU fans starting to die. Overheating. Old age. Electrical problems. I had an old server that actually had a mouse crawl into it and die. Couldn't find an opening I thought it could get into, and even suspected foul play. (not on the mouses death, but on its placement in the case)
