Just returned from the co-lo site, and when I plugged the monitor
in, it had gone to the point of "rebooting" and hung. This is 4.3
on x-86.
I have the same problem with an a few old Intel 815 chipset P3 boxes,
but it's never annoyed me enough to fix it. 8-) I agree with
Rodrigo that it's likely some sort of acpi issue
Cheers,
I'll try the acpi route prior to the next reboot. Just looked, and
it's an AMD Sempron 3100. The machine runs flawlessly except for this
remote reboot problem. I normally don't bother trying to reboot
except when there is a kernel update that fixes something. As this is
a production machine too, I try to leave it running as much as
possible, and it's a PITA to have to get someone from the ISP's staff
to meet me at the co-lo site to let me in. As for the arch, I
generally use i386 to indicate anything intel or amd that is not a
64-bit processor, which as Jim mentioned is rather old terminology. I
came along when 8088's were the mainstay of computers. Gosh, thinking
about that, it seems like it was a century ago !
While it doesn't address the underlying problem, if it's a PITA to get
your datacenter folks to power cycle machines, why don't you get a
network-attached power strip? APC used to sell them rather cheaply and
you could telnet (or use a web interface) to remotely power cycle
individual outlets on the power strip. I used to have these until there
was a security exploit and APC was slow about releasing a fix. So I
took them all out of service and throw a case of beer at the datacenter
staff now and then. They're only too happy to closely monitor things
and fluff power as required now. :-)
Cheers,
