RE: [cobalt-developers] Qube 3 Not responding

["Toni" <toni@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the Professional version  (dual HD - RAID)
The LCD looks pretty normal but does not respond to key events for over
one hour, then works as if everything were normal.
          ************************
          *  home.domain_name    *
          *  192.168.0.2         *
          ************************

I can not isolate a specific event which preceded this failure.  The
client told me that one good morning, they did not have internet access.
When I tried to access the control panel it did not work and that was
that.

I was thinking a power failure could have caused that which is why I put
the affected drives in a new box.

I will try to locate a db9 to db9 null modem cable to see if I could
learn more about what's going on as suggested.

Thank you for your time.  Hopefully I won't spend new year's eve doing
this stuff.

What displays on the LCD while the Qube is in this "mode"?

Is this a Qube Professional (with RAID) or a single-drive Qube?

What preceded this behavior -- power failure? Patch installation?

Have you connected a null modem cable to the serial port on the Qube 
to see what happens during boot up?

No, Qube uses ext2 filesystem, which Windows cannot understand. You'd 
need to mount them as a secondary drive in a Linux box most likely...
