Got to work this morning to discover the Linux box on my desk in an
Unhappy State(tm), characterised by no response the keyboard and no
response to pings. Power cycling was the only option..
However, the logs contained two kernel opps fairly close to each other
earlier in the weekend:

I'm running Debian 2.1 (slink), so the times correlate to the default
cron.daily run time. I've had no problems with other 2.2.1 boxes running
slink (there is one right beside it almost identically setup and it
didn't opps)
It's probably not related, but on boot there's some floppy problems, the
log is very long, so I won't post it unless it's an issue.
Hopefully this isn't a complete waste of everyone's time :)
Good Luck!
