Server Problems

Having some problems with the server. Am working on it now to find a cause and fix.

Please post any problems you're having here.

Quick diagnostic suggests bad RAM *sigh*

about a hour (maybe 2)ago I couldn't log on to the site at all then after a bit it seemed fine.

but I am running some other programs right now,I figured that was the problem.

Same for me, but that was rougly...15 minutes ago 😖

ditto, constant blips where the server is lost

For the technically inclined, it was the preempt feature of the 2.6 kernel that caused the crash.

I'm going to re-compile the kernel without that, which should hopefully fix the problem. The hosts are looking into the possible memory cause.

sound's like you got the problem taken care of.

thats good for me cuase I aint technically inclined, I bout tossed my comp out the window

Working really well at the moment overhere! 😕

I just figured I got banned

Should be ok now.

I'm off to bed again. If someone goes wrong, I'll be back!

Do you have a KMC bug alarm? 😱

Unfortunetly, yes. Don't think I'm going to get much sleep tonight.

Anyways, as per the announcement, the hosts will be replacing the RAM at 3:30AM CST (9:30AM BST) tonight. Downtime is expected at around 30 minutes, probably less.

*runs back to bed*

Go get those Z's Raz 😛

I would be like "Screw you all, I'm sleeping now!" 😮

Couldn't get on a few minutes ago (more like 15)....
okay now...

Around 12:10 it went down for I think like 30 minutes 🥷

Kernel-whatty? 😐

I'm not good with technical mumbo-jumbo ❌

A kernel is the central module of an operating system. It is the part of the operating system that loads first, and it remains in main memory. Because it stays in memory, it is important for the kernel to be as small as possible while still providing all the essential services required by other parts of the operating system and applications. Typically, the kernel is responsible for memory management, process and task management, and disk management.
