ASUS A7V8X motherboard. I didn't change anything in config between the
installation of new module and linux not functioning anymore.
I do run winblows 2000 professional (dual boot) as it is the only way to
play some games for now. I am still fiddling with wine and winex so I can
throw windoze away, but untill my radeon 9700 pro and my mobo will have
appropriate drivers which would allow me to rund opengl and dri games I have
to stick with the M$ fscked OS. :(
The modules of memory are both 512MB PC333 DDR at CL 2.5
The only difference is that one is noname and one is Samsung. They are in
theory compatible (same speed, both have EEPROM with the module related info
and both CL2.5). That meaning I can run anything I want in winbloze without
no crash (also if I start all the applications I can think of just to make
the memory fill) and running memtest86 installed on a floppy for 3.5 hours
(>3 complete test cycles) didn't show any errors and no crash or freeze. I
also swapped the modules in the slots untill I ran out of combinations and
still no crash in windows or error in tests, but still no go with linux
(including installer). :(
Best regards,
Adrian

Yes, I agree it doesn't seem right. So, what's your mobo? Did you check
any unusual parameter in bios (e.g. for 0S/2 memory?). Do you run
winblows too? Other possibility is a possible incompatibility between your
memories, I suppose. Are they equal models?
