Re: [cobalt-users] OS Restore - Internal Server Error

["Roy A. Urick" <roy.urick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a couple cobalts not come back after a restore. After reboot, I
just couldnt get the starting page to load. Since I didnt have any changes
made yet, I just reloaded again from the restore disk.

I thought about posting to this list, but realized that just letting it
rebuild again was gonna be quicker than asking and waiting (I hadnt made any
changes/updates to the box yet).

Sometimes the simplest is the quickest solution. :)
