Looks like the Hurricane Electric techs bumped the power to host19 while installing host20.

Linodes are being restarted now.

They didn't by chance trip and fall into host15? My linode went down at 02:10 UTC 02APR.

Are the Linodes automatically set to boot when the host comes back up after something like this? It seems not as my Linode was down an hour and a half before I realized it was sitting patiently waiting for me to press the "boot" button. :-(

When/if a host server reboots, all the Linodes (that were running at the time of power loss) are rebooted. Otherwise, if your Linode crashes, or goes down for some other reason (someone issues a shutdown) there isn't a method to have it auto-boot.

I do have a "watchdog" feature in the feature-request queue, which can send out alerts or reboot in such cases.

HE techs seem to have a horrible habit of bumping power leads.

Nope. Host15 is fine. I noticed you were running the 2.6-um kernel. There's a reason I haven't officially announced it yet -- still a few bugs being worked on. If you want stability, stay on the 2.4-um kernels for now.

Someone needs to run it to find the bugs. :-) Too bad there was nothing in the logs to help though.

All right! :) Actually, I'm working on a little interface to screen's logging feature with Lish. So, we'll be able to capture kernel panics, etc.. Stay tuned!
