Special thanks to Bob Metcalf, John Julian, & Darren Dunham for your
quick responses.
All pointed to the fact that the TOD clock or battery had gone. Which
was true. While there was no possibility of a motherboard replacement I
did find a spare E420 and was able to swap some discs and with a little
luck was able to get the server up and running again the next morning.
Additionally the TOD battery on the E420R motherboard is not replaceable
as it is welded directly into the motherboard. So if you find your self
in the same situation a motherboard swap is the only answer.
Thanks again and Merry Xmass.
