OMV dropping connection

Hi, Maybe someone has seen this before.

I'm running OMV on an HP 47x Mediasmart Server. Works great! I'm moving my data across to it but have been getting a strange problem. After copying a few files it seem to just drop the Ethernet connection. The machine still seems to be working just no connection. Any thoughts on where I should start looking?

I'm a noob so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. But what does the backports kernel do/provide that is not in the standard kernel?

Oh I see. I somehow thought that it was support for older hardware. I'll do that. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Since I changed to the backports kernel I'm getting a problem with my virtual machine...

Error #64:
exception 'Exception' with message 'Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/)' in /usr/share/phpvirtualbox/lib/vboxconnector.php:210

Can this be sorted or should I revert?

How do I recompile the module for this kernel?

Ok Found it. Running it now.

It's working now.

Correct that's what I did. I noticed today from the office that I can't get to the server. I can get to my router fine but OMV is offline again but I can see the other devices on the home network. I'll have to restart it when I get home.

I'm beginning to suspect the box itself. I have a screenshot that I captured today after I rebooted and it its showing that the box wasn't recording anything but strange enough when I hit the power switch it went down gracefully i.e. it didn't just shut down, the drives were working and then it shutdown. Please note that the box is headless..

Here are all of the logs both Kern and syslog. not sure if kern.log.1 will come. It's saying that it's too big but here goes...
