Rough weather in US overnight with lots of power outages......could have taken her out I guess...

Power stayed on consistently at the hosting site as fas as I know, but the machine was locked up when I woke up this morning. Rebooted it, reconnected vault, reloaded the module, and left for work... by the time I got to work it was unresponsive again.

It's not power at my place, as BG is running fine. More likely it's the same hardware issue that was causing reboots and lockups about 2 weeks ago, that somehow has been dormant for 14 days or so before striking again (twice in 3 hours).

Unfortunately, I won't be able to get home to address it for another 8-9 hours... folks will have to make do without Moonshaes for that span of time.

Moonshaes is again unresponsive, 5-6 hours till I'll be able to get home to nudge it back into wellness.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Looks like MS down ----- and BG too if that matters in diagnosis.

I've connected to it through VNC and it looks working.

Put Moonshaes back up an hour or so before the date of this post- tried to get some diagnostic info on the crash via a different method this time, no luck.

Disabled another potential cause, will see if it's more stable this time.

Also, put in a request for an advanced RMA on the motherboard... will mean some downtime (for the fast hardware, not for Moonshaes), but it's a free replacement board with the sandybridge northbridge hardware fix, so probably best to accept it.

Up and stable as of the time of this posting.

New motherboard for the hostrig (with the updated northbridge including the chip fix from Intel) is in the mail, likely will arrive Friday. I'll plan to shift Moonshaes onto the old hostbox Friday evening/night so I can rebuild the new one. Will post here for informational purposes, but to all of you the changes to and from should be fairly transparent (same IP/port etc).

I'm hopeful that the switch can be completed in time to have Moonshaes back on the fast hardware by Trid's session on Sunday... but we'll see. Will depend on whether the new motherboard forces an OS reinstall or no.
