Pete,
Glad to here you have it running stable again. If not, my next guess for you would have been to download MCElog and look for hidden hardware errors uncovered by the new kernel code... (you didn't want to go there...)
I can't kill my old machines no matter how I try. Like the old AMD k6-2/450 with 2 20G IBM deskstar drives mentioned in my "[opensuse] Disk Performance - Then & Now.." post. It is still running like a champ after ????? years. I know I had the box in 1999, maybe earlier, same drives -- knock-on-wood...
If I get adventurous, I still have my old 386/33 (with math co-processor) and 16M of 70ns RAM somewhere in the attic that I know still works like a champ ;-)
Hi ..
well it all seems stable again now . i have found over the years that when we get kernel updates that do not do a complete update ie sources syms ect ect i get problems i do wish that the updater would check to see what you have installed and update the whole shooting match when it is there not just the smal patches that cause these problems
Oh well main thing is it's is cooking again with seti home and climateprediction running .
I did try to update the firewall machine to 10.3 but could not get it to play the game so put the old 10.0 drive back in and welded the case screws in .. :-) ..
Cheers pete .
I have a new policy, Since drives are as cheap as they are now, I just keep the old drives in case I need to go back to the prior OS and install on fresh drives. (Example: Seagate ST3500630AS 500G for $48, see: http://www.gearxs.com/gearxs/product_info.php?products_id=10080) If after 6 months or so, If I have confirmed I won't need the old OS again, I cycle the drive back into the mix.
