A day after my birthday, My server gives me a suprisingly gift- another day long site down.

What the F!, April Fool’s Day and I just got fool again. I didn’t know how to stop this permanently even I already configured him to restart automatically in the first 20 secs of panic but still shows after rebooting. My logs are full of reboot word and still says in the screen “System Bus Error encountered. etc etc etc….”. And the most weird of all is that I also cannot connect directly to my DSL modem (it is so impossible if there is still internet connection) from outside. There are no Port forwarding config whatsoever, just the i.p (from dyndns updated regularly by the modem itself) and the port still I can’t connect!GrRr!!!

Anyway, What else can I say but to pray It would last longer than 9 days without rebooting him.

Almost 19 hours of total blackout! all sites are down, what a huge mess I got when another “Kernel Panic” hits my server in just 3 weeks (this is the 3rd time). It comes to my decision to sit down on it and do something why and how this happening. With another help from my long time friend Mr. Google, I research this “mysterious phenomena” I called it that occurs in Linux machines. After reading all my recorded log files and tracing the last entry (which registered at 3/5/08 22:31:28 hrs) which says something about one of my Network Card is not acting normally and continually rejecting Rx and Tx connection!

Soon as I found out, I think he wanted to tell me that I should replace him in soonest possible and buy a new one!

Anyway, prior to this to prevent me from waiting to someone from our house(where my server also resides) to come home to REBOOT the box I modify the server to automatically reboot itself after the first 20 secs of kernel panic.

Another day go by and a relief from tragedy.
