Here's a weird one.
Linux brick 2.6.20-15-sparc64-smp #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:03:03 UTC 2007 sparc64 GNU/Linux
Running on Feisty.
The install worked great, the system boots fine, and its a joy to use.
One small problem: changes to files are lost over a reboot.
No kidding, I add users, I config the network, I change the root password, and after a reboot, all my changes are gone. Entire files are missing, or else the edits I made are not there any more.
The only thing I noticed, is that the system wont power itself off when I say "reboot" but instead hangs at what I thought was the last line of the shutdown script.
Could it be that the file systems are not flushing, and the journal is rolling back?
