Hmm. So I'm no longer convinced this is entirely a cyclades issue. But
it kinda depends on whether I'm reading the conserver logs right.

Conserver gets a console up:

[Wed Nov 30 16:40:56 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] console up

The ssh connection is somehow killed:

[Wed Nov 30 18:41:26 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] exit(255)

It then retries for an hour:

[Wed Nov 30 18:41:26 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization
[Wed Nov 30 18:41:35 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] exit(255)
[Wed Nov 30 18:41:35 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization
[Wed Nov 30 18:41:47 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] exit(255)
[Wed Nov 30 18:41:47 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization
[Wed Nov 30 18:42:00 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] exit(255)
[Wed Nov 30 18:42:00 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization


It then backs off for 30 seconds and brings it up successfully (does
this "up" means it's back to tring again, or it was able to successfully
bring the console up??):

[Wed Nov 30 19:30:01 2005] conserver (6459): ERROR: [swx3.sys.adm1]
initialization rate exceeded: forcing down
[Wed Nov 30 19:30:56 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization
[Wed Nov 30 19:30:56 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] console up

At which point it almost immediately dies again:

[Wed Nov 30 19:30:56 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] exit(255)
[Wed Nov 30 19:30:56 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization

Sometimes it'll stay up for a few seconds or so:

[Thu Dec  1 01:29:56 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] console up
[Thu Dec  1 01:30:00 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] exit(255)
[Thu Dec  1 01:30:00 2005] conserver (6459): [swx3.sys.adm1] automatic
reinitialization

I'm sending a report to cyclades as well - but I'd thought I'd run this
by the other experts here. ;)
