I'm having an issue with my 11.10 install of MythBuntu that lives on an ESXi 4.1u2 box<br>

As Gary pointed out, it may be the leap bug.<br>
<br>
I'd also suggest upgrading to ESXi 5, for me it was a painless upgrade for my home machine and the one at work.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

The reason I'm running ESXi is that I have not only FreeNAS running, but also MythBuntu, another Ubuntu VM and Windows server 2003. The second Ubuntu VM is running my install of Subsonic (along with a couple other web services), and I want to keep that as separate from MythBuntu as possible. The Windows VM is specifically for Home Automation software. I have the correct RF light switches, but I haven't installed them yet. I'm actually waiting on someone in my family to purchase the Nexus 7 tablet and a Pro Subscription to iRule so I can integrate everything together.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Upgrade to ESXi5:<br><br>The reason I don't do that is because ESXi5 has a limit of 32GB of RAM and 1 physical CPU. The motherboard I'm running is a SuperMicro X8DTH-6f with a single Xeon E5520 CPU. I have the second E5520 at home, but I tried putting it in the board, and the board didn't boot. Reason being, I don't actually have the mobo in a chassis. It's just sitting out in the open on a shelf. It's being powered by a single 550W PSU. I've tried getting the correct power into the mobo, but I don't think the CPU has enough umpf to power the board with both CPUs. The 6 x 500GB SATA drives are being powered by a separate PSU. Also, the limitation of 32GB of RAM is a big downside. I'm currently running 24GB of RAM, and I'll be getting at least another 24 soon.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again to everyone who responded. It certainly looks like the leap second bug, but I'm not sure why the system decided to reboot itself. Very strange. I think it's time I did the major upgrade to MythBuntu 12.04 and probably 0.26 beta.</div>
