Good day, My name is Bryan Fisher, and I work for a company called Pinnacle Africa in South Africa, Cape Town. I was hoping that maybe you could assist me in the issue that I am getting with server h/w please. Attached is a screenshot of what happens when I insert a USB key to copy the Breakin log file. It also indicates that 'Failid - Other tests have errors, tuning on ID light..' would it be possible if you could point me in a direction to find the fault please? I have run multiple memtest and it passes I have run burin in test in windows it passes, I have ran Sandra test diagnostics and it passes while monitoring voltages and system temperatures it is all stable. However, the server works for a few weeks, couple of months and it starts getting issues like reboots, freezing up and basically becomes unstable. We have changed mainboards, all ram modules, tested the PSU but the issue still remains. This is the server H/W below that is in use; ECC REG RAM - 8GB x4 modules X9SRI-F - mainboard E5-2620V2 2.1GB 6C Ivy bridge 1U Dual Xeon Chassis CSE-813MTQ-600CB Please advise if you are able to assist or even just tell where the issue might be. I got you e-mail address from here; http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707178 Thank you kindly in advance! Hope to hearfrom you ASAP Kind regards, Bryan Fisher | Server Specialist Cape Town | Pinnacle Africa Direct: +27 21 5500 357 | Fax: +27 21 551 3444

I think you're asking about something underlated to what http://bugs.debian.org/707178 is talking about. The people that you've e-mailed don't have anything to do with the breakin project, and we can't support your organization's hardware at any rate. I recommend you follow up with your hardware vendor (or retain other local technical staff), and explain to them the errors that you're having. But your post is off-topic for the discussion of http://bugs.debian.org/707178. Regards, --dkg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
