Hi,

My Indy in N42, tabasco.mit.edu, is malfunctioning. I'm not sure 
whether something happened to it during the Great Flood (this is the 
first time it's been booted since then) or if it's just acting out 
because we left it by itself and lonely for so long ... but in any 
case, it keeps trying to boot and displaying a PANIC: KERNEL FAULT 
message.

Tabasco is located in the CWIS area in the lower level of N42. It 
should be the only workstation turned on in that area (though I have 
turned off the monitor because I got tired of looking at the 
blinking).

Thanks for taking a look at this.

Humanity has an amazing inability to plan.  Not too many
generations ago, when our relatives lived by hunting and
gathering, the inability to plan for the next season meant
death. Planners survived. The clueless died.  But today,
Homo Sapiens eats at McDonalds - for the moment, planning
and survival are not strongly linked.    --David Isenberg
