Hi Goose,
What is gibbering?
Don't know still... <grin> Turns out the hub was the problem...
1) Do you have a box (known good)? Run eathereal (packet sniffer) on
it and watch what is on the wire.
I wonder from power off through the kernel load if you will detect
the problem.
Eathereal will indicate if something is on the line. It should be
able to tell you if something loaded incorrectly
and is interupting other stuff.
Tried that.... I grabbed a 10/100 HUB from the warehouse. Although
I'd swear it LOOKS like it operates like a switch... I ran Wireshark
(old Ethereal) on the laptop and monitored everything. I don't know what
the failure was on the switch I had at home ( little 5 port job) but the
3com switch was filtering out whatever the garbage was, Wireshark never
collected anything.
2) What about cable issues?
Nope, ran fine the whole time...
3) What about Hub/Switch issues?
Yup, see above...
Thanks again for the suggestions... Presently, I have the old server
on life support (DSL-N) so I can copy of the data from the drive. Shame
I didn't set the root password so I can access it.... <frown>
YES, several doc's say DSL-N doesn't set a password, when your trying
to access it via ssh server YES you need a password which I didn't setup
at home.
