Dear All, On my MSI S270 turion laptop running Debian/Sid/AMD64 -with ATI480 chipset, shared memory graphics- I am experimenting very frequent crashes or panics - see http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/msi_s270_linux.html
These crashes are not strictly reproductivble (which make me thinks of a hardware problem). Typically, a kernel panic (ie not syncing killing interrupt handler) or a process which crashes or produces faulty data. For exemple, some compilations fail, with a single bit inverted (giving for example an invalid opcode generated by cc1 for as). This happens even when the temperature (as given by acpi -V) is not very high, eg 45° C CPU. But memtest86 or memtest+ (v1.65) runs without failure for twenty hours. I am considering changing the RAM, hence I am asking here: can memory fail without being detected by memtest+? Please give here any experience on that issue... Thanks, and happy Easter -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net aliases: basile<at>tunes<dot>org = bstarynk<at>nerim<dot>net 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
