Timeout

In the wee hours of June 6th, the server went offline. During the day, I talked with Zach Nowell, who said the machine was hot, hot, hot to the touch. The primary drive was throwing “read_dma timeout” errors and hanging the system. Eventually, Marc installed another hard disk, installed FreeBSD 6.2 on it, and Reed Cartwright and I were able to take things from there. Reed did the data transfer from that system to the new server box, so now everything is serving from the new box. There are still some things Reed needs to do to get PT fully operational, but everything else is supposed to be working now.

Let me know if you find that something is not working right.
