general troubleshooting question

[mdxi@collapsar.net]

I've got an Ultra2 (2x200MHz, 512M, debian sid) which has performed superbly
for over a month. Last night, however, it locked up twice in the space6
hours. The first time I chalked it up to a glitch in the new version of X
which had installed earlier that evening.

The second time, however, the machine refused to boot. The OpenBoot banner
with the CPU and RAM count comes up, "Initiaizing RAM" ticks by, then it
just sits there. No SILO prompt, STOP-A does nothing.

I've yanked ALL the RAM in permutation, swapped out CPU modules and the 2
hard drives, checked the internal card and cable connections, and nothing
makes a difference. Anyone have an idea?

All help greatly appreciated :)
