  "Then it works just like it did before, doesn't it?"  :-)

  *Something* must have changed.  While it is certainly possible that a
hardware failure is to blame, are you absolutely, positively sure *nothing*

Red Hat Network)?  Software configuration changes?  Moved some important
file?  Anything?
