Cross Posted to the plugcomputer forum :

http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=2145.0

I have the std SheevaPlug & it's been running like a champ for a long while (24X7).

It has an external 3.5 hdd (independantly powered) via a (powered) USB hub.

Suddenly...in the last week...If I plug anything into USB  (even just the hub if on boot though if post boot just the hub is OK) the plug keeps rebooting.


If I then unplug the USB hub & restart the plug starts OK but then the date is always reset to Sat Nov  8  1947

At this point not a lot works (e.g. dns etc because obviously the date is so far off ) but I can get on using ssh & reset the date & then everything works once more.

Plug in the hub (just the hub)  & everything stays working.....plug in the disk into the hub (or anything else USB e.g. my LIRC USB infrared adapter) &...... pow back to rebooting.....

Any ideas?
