All interfaces suddenly getting "detached"

[Taomyn]

The past two days and now twice within a few hours all the interfaces of my firewall have gone down and all that is displayed on the screen and the log in the GUI is:

Code: [Select]

My only action as I cannot SSH into the box is to from the console with a keyboard initiating a reboot, and then everything is fine. I cannot see any hardware issues but I'm not discounting that just yet.


Any ideas where to look for further diagnosis?

Hardware, maybe?

Your PCI bus detached during runtime of the hardware, at least the kernel thought so. It is most uncommon the kernel would assume the PCI bus detached when it in fact didn't. From experience, I've never seen this behaviour.

Are you running it in a VM?? (VmWare)??

Nope, it's a physical box - it hasn't happened yesterday but I continue to monitor it, thankfully I'm present the rest of this week to keep an eye on it.

Thanks

I got the same behavior when running it virtual in a VM with Open vmware tools package running.

When I deleted the package it stopped and has been running ever since no issues.
