We had an interesting incident last Friday when, early in the morning, three remote systems at two different locations stopped reporting in. All three system stopped checking in around 3am. Further checking revealed that all three systems where identical. IBM ThinkCentre 8194A4U boxes.
Later that morning a tech sent on site reported that each system was throwing a ‘no network cable connected’ error even though all system where in fact connected and had full status lights.
An inventory check revealed that we had 10 of these systems installed company wide. Six were running XP Pro, the other four were running w2k. The three down systems were all running w2k. The forth w2k system had no issues.
The systems were brought back online for the weekend by installing temporary PCI based NICs. Today we had a chance to take a closer look at the machines. All diagnostics passed without a problem. We noticed that there had been quite a few BIOS upgrades released by IBM. All of the problem systems were running bios version 2AKT27AUS (release date of sometime in 2003). We upgraded the systems to the lastest BIOS available from Lenovo’s site (found here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-51058) which is version 2AKT51A with a release date of 8/23/2005. After a reboot with the new BIOS, all systems returned to normal.
Just throwing this out there in case this bug bites someone else.
Yet another Ubuntu release, yet another set of Linux boxes in my house which no longer have sound. Kind of a pain since these are the systems my kids use for homework projects and online games.
I’m too old and too computer weary to go chasing after the same damn computer problem with every ‘new’ release. It used to be a fun challenge…. now its just a pain in the ass.
