Hi guys, I had a Duron 750 as a gateway/firewall/proxy at home, which I replaced, about two months ago, with a similar, but faster machine (AthlonXP 1700+) mostly because the Athlon PC in total is far more quiet and I have plans for a gaming server.
As things happen, I need an extra desktop, so I swapped the machines again, making the Duron 750 the firewall again. It's running sarge, and was originally installed on this machine. On both occasions I transplanted the network cards, optical drives and hard drive and debian didn't even notice it's a new machine. But on the swich back to the Duron I'm getting some weirdness. Anything with a progress indicator - apt-get install, btdownloadheadless, etc. has the progress percentage tumbling between seemingly random numbers. For example, after switching on the box, I wanted to restart the torrents that were running, and when it checks how much of the file exists locally, it goes 11% 578% 80% -341225% There are othe problems too. Squid doesn't want to start, it complains about a configuration error (the config file is unchanged) on line 9 of the config file - line 9 is still comments, and the parameter it refers to - cache_mem - isn't even specified. btdownloadheadless crashes with python errors, apt-get install gives errors relating to debconf, and somewhere along the line (can't remember what I was trying to do) I got an error saying my perl is too old - this is a stock standard Sarge install. Has anybody seen this behaviour before? I have reseated the memory and ran memtest all night without any errors. I'm puzzled - this machine was running fine as a test server for the last two months.
