Update.1 690 poweroffs?

2008-01-28 Thread Martin Dengler
I hate to trac something so vague, but please let me know if this
better belongs there:

I've been running update.1 build 690 on my G1G1 C2 for about 4 days
now, and on 2 of the 3 nights (and one afternoon) since I installed it
I've found it powered off.  It's been connected to AC all three times,
and each time the power button did no good - I had to take out the
battery and disconnet the power to start it up.  Today the battery
light was on (green) but no other lights were on (the other two times
no lights were on).

I've never seen this behavior before.  Anybody else seen this?

Martin

Next time it happens please plug and unplug the external power and see 
if your battery status light changes.

Also please edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment out the line:

#kern.*

and redirect the data to a file rather than /dev/console  please use a 
nand backed file rather than /var/log which is a ramfs.  I normally use 
/root/kern.log

Then restart syslogd.

That log file is really chatty so it will grow fast. you will want to 
watch it and trim it down on a regular basis.  When it powers off again 
please send that to me.

Thanks for your info, Martin. Are you on Trac? Can you write up a bug for
follow up?
(Or if someone knows of a trac item that Martin can use to add his notes;
that would be great).

Thanks,
Kim

I didn't find a trac item that seemed like mine so I opened #6263.

Will do on both counts.
