Please let me know more about the specs of your hardware. What is the make/model of the hard drive, what motherboard are you using, what are the NIC cards, etc.
K7s5a....thats probably your Problem.
I have this board aswell...but as my workstation.
It runs good now but i searched a problem over 2 months.
This board i would never use as a firewall with Astaro i tell you.
I had strange Problems....3com Card did not well in that...worked and suddenly not, independent which pci slot, intel card aswell...then switched to the sis onboard thing...and removed ALL other PCI cards...works.
I changed the Powersupply aswell, have you changed yours for testing purpose ?
It might be that one of the Voltages/Amp's arent stable or not enough.
I read somewhere that you shouldn't use both banks of SDRAM in this board..better only one....but i cant find that article anymore....try the DDR Banks maybe.
also take a close look to the realtek nic.. those nics are pice of crap and cause MANY problems... ive got one in a server box and that systems stops work .ervery day after some hours.
like you said... no traffic in and out .. after a restart everything was ok... so kick also that realtek thing...
