Hesllo!

Sorry to disturb anyone. I have a server running commercial software
(Informix propriety software).

Suddenly the mouse stopped and some time later the keyboard refused my
orders.

Kernel 2.2.5-15 RH6. During bootup at least the keyboard is working, so
I can access the BIOS, but shortly before showing up the login display,
it stops. So it can not be a wiring problem.

If someone is out there, who has an idea where to look for possible
clues, I would appreciate every hint.

Sorry for inconvenience, I know the system is very old, but my software
company wants at least 20K for a new system.

Thank you,

Ernst

Will your software run on anything newer? CentOS3 or 4 perhaps? It's
worth a try, if it does then you can put it on a newer box. If it really
really requires RH6 you could try to see if RH6 will run as a VM then you
could put it on a CentOS5.3 system with VMware Server.
