Date: 24 Sep 1996 18:18:53 GMT Organization: University of Hawaii Lines: 17 Message-ID: <5298md$22m@news.Hawaii.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: uhunix2.its.hawaii.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I've been receiving these messages in my syslog: Sep 21 21:24:41 dementia /kernel: ed1: device timeout Sep 22 15:43:05 dementia /kernel: ed1: device timeout Sep 22 18:44:21 dementia /kernel: ed1: device timeout Sep 23 09:43:06 dementia /kernel: ed1: device timeout What does this mean? My guess is that the ethernet itself got unhooked or otherwise disconnected. But then, these things seem to sometimes correspond to a lockup of the entire machine. This is a machine that I rarely see in person (hosted server and I'm the remote sysadmin) Any ideas? -- Thanks in advance... Chris
