No network card, no modem.
90MHz Pentium, 16meg ram, on-board ide
Maxtor 90432D2 drive
Red Hat 6.0
It's looking more and more like it's the drive. As long as I keep using
it, it's ok. But if I go off for a while it's dead when I come back - like
the drive's going to sleep and not waking back up. Rebooting won't wake
it up, but cycling the power switch will. Could be power supply problem (?).
