I'm running sarge-testing on a Shuttle SB52G2 P4 2.4/1 gig RAM, lastapt-get updated about two weeks ago (2.4.26). Short version of problem:the box spontaneously reboots after a couple minutes of uptime.
snipI have a very similar problem, on a machine with similar specs. The machine reboots spontaneously 78 seconds from the grub prompt. The reboot is very instant: nothing in the logs or on the screen, just a beep.
The machine has only minimal server software installed on it, no X, etc.. Obviously with symptoms like that, it has never been used as a server.
I had given up, and the machine's gone back to the shop (for a different reason) and was about to begin a new life as a windows desktop. But if anyone wants me to get it back, get the exact specs, and run tests, etc., I'm quite willing.
I thought I was going crazy. DJPp.s. I still believe that my machine has a configuration error, my fault, to do with LDAP. But the symptoms are so similar that I thought it worth putting out there.
