Was this a known problem? Out of curiosity, did you check the UPS logs? The low- (and mid- ?) range ones I've played with have logs as well as the ability to tell the computer when there is a power problem. I'd check those logs and also look in the system BIOS for a way to power the computer back on when power returns. If it was powered off, I don't believe it would be kernel-related. I could always be wrong, but from my own experiences kernel problems result in a system that is on but not operational. -- Chris Largret - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
