I've been using SME for the last 4 years in my business. We suffered a power outage, and upon reboot I get an error at the log-in screen. When I type my user id, it prompts as usual for password. When entering the password, I get a "Power Failure, System Shutting Down" error. After about 1 minute, the screen displays the shut down sequence. I've tried different BIOS settings, no change. I've done a search, but no help found. I'm running 6.0.1 I think.... haven't ungraded as have not had a need to date.
Any help appreciated!!

That's not a standard SME server feature. Perhaps you have powstatd installed.

6.0.1 is very long out of date and unmaintained. Have you heard of "preventative maintenance"?

.... perhaps I do, I installed some rpm's a few years back.. Is there a way around it??? And while I've heard of "preventive maintenance", I've also heard of "it it ain't broke don't fix it!" :P
thanks for any help getting this back up...

"it it ain't broke don't fix it!"
sometimes with software it IS broke and you don't know it.
Please update to the latest version as soon as possible.

I would boot in single mode, disable any NON vital service (powstatd), check the fs, then reboot, make a backup and upgrade..
