Well up until last night my Alpha box was doing great with an uptime in excess
of a year and now, thanks to a brief power loss (less than half a second) it now
will no longer boot. It appears, from output from milo, that the filesystems
are hosed. I guess I'm gonna have to wipe the drive out and start over. Maybe
try debian instead of RH. Too bad I don't have enough UPSes for the whole house
(more than a dozen systems in 5 rooms).
