just in case anyone tracks down my original mail to the list, and wonders how i resolved it, i should point out i've fixed it. it seems that it was hardware. basically, something on my old system was going south. i suspect it was the processor, as it was so hard to track down, but i shotgunned the entire system (except for the HDD, which i had no reason to suspect, the PSU, which had only just been replaced in an earlier attempt to solve the problem, and the SCSI card, which i can't afford to replace and which i have some confidence in) and put in new motherboard, memory, processor, fan, video card and case. the new system came up and immediately started running bacula just fine. enormous thanks to kern for responding quickly, informatively and personally. -- Tom Yates - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.teaparty.net Using Tomcat but need to do more?
