It seems to be a serious hardware failure.

Good news everyone: I was able to resurrect the Sheeva. It's known to have a rather weak PSU which was obviously dead. With an external power supply and some lustre terminals it works again.

The Server has been down from 24-05-2012 in the morning 7:30 a.m. (GMT+1).

Which Year do we have ??

Thanks!

The mySql server crashed this morning and you will probably experience strange artifacts. I will restart it later...

Restart has been done.

My DSL link is broken since 7:18pm. After a few minutes the connection gets interrupted and reconnected. Thereby a new IP address is associated (which is synchronized only in 10min interval).
My provider (Telekom) likes to talk with me about sales only, I cannot report malfunction. Most probably this issue will not be solved today.

Edit: Report done, repairing scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Server seems to be down since 09:00 GMT. Unfortunately I'll not be able to restart it until evening. I apologize.

Server has been restarted.
