Hello,
I had a box that today experienced a power failure. When I rebooted, it
wasn't even pingable. I brought it upstairs (no minotor in the basement)
and noticed that I was always pausing during the boot sequence at a root
prompt. Seems to have just brought the network up and then stopped at
this root prompt. If I type 'exit', the boot continues as if nothing
happened. As this is a server machine, I can't just leave a keyboard
attached waiting for someone to happen along and type 'exit'. :)
fscking the drives returns no errors.
This system is a debian stable box.
