- RAIDS: A hard drive in gourd's RAID went bad and the array was labeled as "degraded." Around the same time, various login issues appeared, such as long wait times between username and password prompting, and password authentication failing for users. When the drive was replaced, not only was the array fixable, but these other issues went away.
- SMP, Power: Taro was only able to run the single-processor kernel, despite having two processors. When taro's power supply was replaced with a better one capable of delivering more power on the necessary lines, taro was able to run the symmetric multiprocessing kernel. The old powersupply was most likely damaged in a power event. It may have been too low a rating to begin with.
- SMP: Gourd was running on just one CPU, despite having two. This was solved by simply telling GRUB to boot the symmetric multiprocessing Linux kernel, which was not the default.
