Same here with on a single machine with an earlier model Tyan board - it

just find two Opterons, memory and a case :-) I'll let you know if this
one does it too.
There _may_ be some PSU involvement with ours: the machine and fans are
running but not accepting connections. You have to disconnect the power
for a few minutes for it to even boot again properly. Powercycling from
the front panel doesn't always work
Debian etch, stock Debian kernel (2.6.18-5 from memory).
We're running the same kernels pretty much.
To be fair to our system, it seems to be rock solid in general and
certainly has no problems switching on or off normally. Nor have we seen
any kernel panics (as far as I can remember).
Nonetheless, I'm hearing some anecdotes relating to some Tyan
motherboards and this kind of behaviour. Until I figure out the root
cause and a more targetted fix, I guess we'll be rebooting more often!
Thanks,
