[GRLUG] Rebooting linux server

[Collin Kidder]

The UPS guess turned out to be wrong as well. I had a spare UPS (a small 
one) sitting around and moved the server to be on that UPS by itself. It 
still reboots with power faults even though I know this UPS is good. 
Nothing else surrounding it reboots either (even other stuff connected 
to the old UPS) so I guess that was a bad guess.

I have now replaced both power supplies in the server. It's still 
faulting, claiming that the power died. So, I can confirm that the power 
is good, the UPS isn't bad, and the power supplies have been replaced. 
The machine gives no indication that there is a problem except for 
claiming that the power died. This is unfortunately starting to sound 
like the motherboard is cooked or something.
