Hi All,

I hope you all had a good Christmas. the last message see below.

Does anyone know how to flash a eprom that wont recognise the a drive?

I installed a new drive in my server machine & it wouldn't see it so I
though flash the board to the latest bios & it should be ok... all seem to
go ok then it rebooted & I get left with a screen

Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
ROM checksum error.
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

I tried this made a windows floppy boot disk I haven't been able to get the
machine to boot.
I have now got another board that doesn't support Raid so I am left with 4
hard disks until I can reflash the bios.

Anyway that's the bad news the other news is I have put all the drives onto
the new board & it seems to be throwing a woobly its  doing a system repair
at the moment for some reason it couldn't mount the Linux drive...although
it gets to the boot loader screen ok...

Will keep you posted.

I cant do a fresh install of Linux because there is data I need to get off
that drive.. after I have that off I will do a clean install of Suse again.

Dave...

PS why didn't my message not go through last time see below. :

Happy new-year.....



Hi All,

I hope everyone is still merry after the Christmas break and ready for the
New years one.... :)

I have noticed someone has been/or trying to gain access to my ssh on my
linux server. I get a log sent to my gmail account every hour from my
router. I have noticed that the ssh port 22 being used. see below.

Although from this i can tell someone is trying to gain access but is there
somewhere that will log ssh attempts???


Cheers & be merry...

Oh sending via linux :)
