I didn't realize the 497 day limit existed, but it makes sense (2^32 * 10ms / 3600 seconds / 24 hours = 497.1 days). Oh well, the power has to be shut off next week, so this server won't reach the limit.
Actually, with SUSE kernels starting from 9.0, if you use default grub configuration, it passes parameter "desktop" to the kernel which makes the timer to tick 10 times faster so the uptime rolls over in ~50 days. See also http://portal.suse.de/sdb/en/2003/10/90_scheduling.html Regards, -Kastus
