Default Re: 4100/705N System light blinking rapidly

Just to keep everyone up to date, and because this might be helpful to someone in the future, here's whats been happening.

I turned on the unit this morning at 7:48 (damn thing is showing 8:48 so DST is not set correctly). It came up like normal, the System LED is doing it's normal heartbeat indication. It is running a disk check, but it seems to be running it a lot faster, it's 8:32 and it's already 80 percent complete. So far I don't see any indications of problems. None of the drive LEDs is amber, which is probably explained by what the log is showing:

================================

It looks like it had some kind of panic dealing with memory yesterday.

Right now I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it doesn't happen again.

The unit has the mod mentioned in the sticky, it's also a 70715048-006A version.

Details: This is actually a Dell 705N that's been modified to run the Snap server software version 3.4.805. It currently has 4 160GB Seagate drives in it, and 256MB of memory.
