Spontaneous reboot! HW diagnostics?
Hi Gang! After over 100 days of error-free service, my Debian 2.2/i486 dial-up-router-cum-print-server did a spontaneous reboot yesterday. (Aftermath: the CMOS clock had jumped ahead an hour and a half, the nmbd log contained non-printing characters at that point, and 1 e-mail in the exim spool was corrupt.) Before this happens again, maybe somebody can recommend ways to test for decaying silicon? Preferably in-service; if that's not possible then at least without booting a different OS?
