Hi, i recently posted on this list regarding random shutdowns of my debian woody server. I tried nearly everything: reinstalling, changing harddisks, removing scsi controller, removing isa soundblaster, changing powersupply and so on. I was getting fed up and borught it back to the computer store so they could check it. I put Knoppix in the cd drive so the technicians could startup my pc and experience the crash while booting. Indeed they saw the same. They checked everything and said that my hardware is just fine. Then they installed win98 on it to see if it would crash in win98. It didn't :-(
This server had Suse 7.2 before i installed Debian Woody on it and i remember that i had the "occasional" crash too altough it only happened about two or three times. I'm going to try and reinstall debian with (forget the correct name of the mode) the mode that supports isa the best and see what happens. If this doesn't work, i will try and install another distro. Don't know what will suit me best since i enjoy Debian very much. This really sucks. Any other stuff i can try out? If not, what distro would be good for a server install? Slackware? Red hat? Suse?
