Re: How can Linux demage a motherboard?


Could it be related to opening the case to install the other disk rather
than what was on the disk? Or, could it be a faulty disk that damaged the
interface on the MB?

The 2 drives are connected to a Perc4/SC. The same card was used in 2
machines and a second one in the third, makes no difference.


As suggested above, there are 3 common factors: the disk image, the
physical disk and the process of opening the case. You need to investigate
these latter 2 issues.

These make and mae no difference. I have checked all these, the case has no
intrusion sensor/alarm after the first started to pay up, I thought I may
have had it cooked due to not heavint the op on...

this is a 1U unit

so the next two I made sure that they did not operate without the lid.

I also have checked, it is not critical with these servers to have the lid
on...
