Hi Dave,
No there is no UPS.
Just another thought. Do I need noapic and nolapic etc as kernel params during boot? Currently I do not have those but I still remember using those long time ago to install Mandrake (before it became Mandriva) Linux.

Hi
I just noticed your question - how does a UPS cause issues, and how would you troubleshoot/resolve them?
many thanks
Alex
They're supposed to prevent issues with bad mains supplies. e.g my son was happily tapping and clicking away as I came upstairs with a thunderstorm raging away overhead.
"Dad, my UPS just kicked in"
"That's great - it's working"
Tap tap click click....
I don't know where the OP is located but bad mains power causes problems. I just wondered whether this could be a possibility.
