Hello,

O.k. this one is on us. We recently did an apt-get upgrade that upgraded 
the kernel. Normally this is not a big deal but for some reason (haven't 
really looked into it) newer kernels don't by default support the nic in 
this machine.

The reason the machine didn't come right up was that updategrub was not 
set to leave the menu.lst alone and thus the new kernel got booted on 
reboot and no network was found.

We have resolved the updategrub issue and are reviewing the cause of the 
outage.

This machine has been riding a little high on the iowait recently and I 
am starting to think we may have been bit by Linux and it's not so 
intelligent killing of processes.
