People,
I have at work a mixed system Debian sarge/etch running a firewall and
vpn server on a K6-2.
Today, we were experiencing some connectivity problems, and we found
out that they were caused by iptables not initiating properly and
segfaulting. So, I went into the servers room, to find out that the
computer in question was beeping constantly, which led me to believe
it was a hardware failure.
If it was the speaker then it could mean the motherboard was resetting
while still in the BIOS.
I'm not sure about what you mean by the mobo resetting while still in
the BIOS. This system was still allowing some traffic through it and did
respond to commands sent via SSH, but nothing on the console.
okay, maybe you've got a failing keyboard or kvm that was overflowing some
buffer? that would cause lots of beeping and a lack of response at the
console but allow many other things to function normally?
