FC-1 died mysterious several times a week

[Guolin Cheng]

Hi,

 It is quite strange that my FC-1 Box died mysteriously several times a week. now it died again. I can ping it from other host, and nmap it without issues, but when I try to ssh to it, or access it by means of nfs, I got no response.

 The machine box is a HP workstation xw4100, 2x4G CPU, 4G memory, 4x250GB SATA drives(two connected by means of Intel ICH5 on mothboard, 2 by means of Promise RAID S150 TX4), the kernel is upgraded 2.4.22-1-ntpl-2174smp.

 I can not find errors in /var/log/messages. I have been trying to install a model FC-1 machine to replace our existing RH8.0/9.0 since the latter has no suuport soon. sigh...

 any suggestions are greatly appreciated.


 Thanks.
