Hi Yah,

Grant Stern Replied:

"think you may have a physical failure of either your ethernet card or your 
new ram. i had similar issues with some new ram that were resolved by my 
ram supplier (who IMHO, RULZ!) by replacing the bad ram with some nice new 
ram."

I had the Ram kicked up initially from 128 to 256 and I'd be telling lies 
to say if it all started then but it did happen with the 256 them I had it 
upgraded about 3 weeks ago to 512 and now it's happening again.

With regards to the ethernet card this is built in and I believe it's a 
major to change or replace :( The servers remote so there is now way I can 
test it myself - mind you wouldn't know where to start. I've emailed the 
colo again with a copy of the original post I made yesterday so we'll see 
what they say.

Grant also replied with:

"have you tried booting the raq with a module that you know for sure works??"

No and I'm remote so how would I do that? Could get the colo to do it I 
suppose.

"You wouldn't happen to have that RaQ behind a Cisco 1900 series switch, 
would you?"

Don't actually know but can find out from colo - is there a problem with 
this series of switches or is it a know issue or do my symptoms sound like 
something you've come across?

Regards
