According to our datacenter support staff, some capacitors on the mainboard exploded earlier today. Subsequently, the server went down. When they replaced the HD into a different machine, the server would get stuck on boot (kernel panic).

I realised what was going on pretty late to begin with (~2:30hrs down), they took a while to reply (+~2hrs) and then actually getting the problem sorted out (netboot into a rescue image, regenerating initramfs and installing GRUB as LILO wouldn't do the job, waiting for them to manually hardreset every time it got stuck again) took another 2 hours of so, together with some time interspersed here and there as I needed to commute and pretend to be active at my vacation job, sums up to a total 8something hours down... but here we are, and it seems like nothing broke too badly in the end.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Ah so that's why everything's been down.

Thanks for the heads up
