Perhaps this machine is on its way out, this morning I noticed that GRUB isn’t automatically booting, rather waiting for me to press enter. Strange behavior, the same CDROM worked yesterday. (Perhaps the temperature swings of my garages is taking its toll. For about 4 years the server was in a garage in TX where it could reach ~ 114 in the summer months, now its ~ 20 in my garage as I’m no longer in TX.) During the boot process I saw an error about the clock, so perhaps the battery has died on the motherboard.
The file is at https://play.ourspace.io/s/yoP76pDXgYKcFoj/download?path=%2F&files=smbios.data I suspect I might be able to change the serial number in the BIOS, something I’ll try later, else this box just became spare parts for the other machines in my rack.
