The symptoms are:
o Dead. No response to any external event like Numlock on the keyboard.
o Dead. No response to network pings.
o Dead. No evidence that it was a computer.
After a hardware reset, the machine booted fine during which it performed
the mandatory `fsck` with no problems found to correct. This probably
means that the machine was idle, and had been idle for a long time, when
it hung.
My non SMP machine, running the same kernel shows:
10:44am up 2 days, 17:48, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
The SMP machine will not stay up more than 8 hours.
Cheers,
Dick Johnson
