Weird Network Error
a previously rock solid reliable server of mine crashed last night, the server was still running but eth0, a Intel 82574L using the e1000e driver, went down. The server has a Supermicro X8DTE-F (dual Xeon X5650, yada yada). server is a drbd master, so that was the first thing to notice network issues. Just a couple days ago I ran yum update to the latest, I do this about once a month.

(prior to this was nothing but normal smbd complaining about CUPS not configured).

This is going to sound really stupid, but consider replacing the patch cord. If that doesn’t work… should I assume that this m/b has at least two embedded NIC? If so, try using the other NIC.
