Why dont you simply use memtest86?
Because memtest86 doesn't catch all memory errors, while a kernel
compile stresses the system in ways memtest86 doesn't. Some memory
errors only happen when there is IO going on at the same time, which is
exactly what a kernel compile does. For more information, see the sig11
FAQ at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ .
Thanks very much for the clarification Erik! That's exactly what I wanted to
answer and btw. the sig11 FAQ ist of course the source for the ramtest shell
script I use.
