Morning all
I'm having a very strange morning. Until this am my A20P running Red
Hat linux 7.2 has been solid - it just runs. This morning, for no apparent
reason, the keyboard suddenly stopped working. None of the keys I pressed
were acknowledged. I shut the system down via extended pressing of the
power button, and then could not get it to restart until I had removed the
battery briefly.
I finally got it to restart, and it ran for about 20 minutes then just
power cycled [without my assistance], and refused to start again. After
removing the batter once again I got it to restart. Turned on the power
on diagnostics, everything reports fine.
Oops - darn thing just rebooted itself again, and the first attempt to
reboot halted at RAM check. After removing the battery briefly again, it
restarts and things report okay again.
I'm a bit perplexed by all this - anyone have suggestions about what might
be happening? Is this the sort of behaviour that RAM failure can cause?
TIA
S.
