Gateway Lockup

Today my beloved Gateway took another step on the road from this life to the next.  The audio has been gone for sometime, but today I came into work and it was locked up.  Even the SAK reboot failed.

Powering down now.

OK, it booted and I didn't see anything unusual.  But it is hard to tell because I reboot it so seldom.

Using ftp

It has been a long time and this was helpful.

The problem is that if you try to rescue the server from a desktop Ubuntu disk, it can't mount the volume.  This link tells you how:
