2004.01.28 @ 00:26:07 45 minutes of downtime

For those of you very observative Typhoon watchers out there, you will have noticed that Typhoon was down for 45 minutes or so this evening. I was finally rebooting it, in preparation for further changes over the next few days. Trying to reduce the number of things changed at once, so as to not result in a massive downtime. Tonights downtime was prolonged by the letters LI, and the evils of network drivers. Basically, I had lilo configured incorrectly, so it couldn't find the hard drive. Thanks to a boot floppy, and a quick memory of what I worked on 201 day ago, that didn't take too long to fix. Then, the network wouldn't start. Turns out I needed to reinstall the kernel, rerun lilo, etc. Thanks to debian's nice happy fun packaging of kernels, this was a snap. Or, should I say a pop. So, Typhoon is back up and running. Expect it to go down for some upgrades later this week.
