You can also merge memtest86 and set lilo or grub up to boot to it. That's what I did and it worked well. After you start it go into configuration and tell it to do all tests (it only does some of the 11) and then let it run for a LONG time - at least one pass.

Hi all,

Unfortunately I was not yet able to found a solution to my problem. I'm
thinking about backing up somehow my data and reinstalling
gentoo.Sincerely, I don't think it's a hardware problem. I've been
testing memory and doing some stress tests with gentoo boot cd and
everything is ok. The problem is when I boot into my partition. Well, if
anyone has any idea instead of just backing up stuff and reinstall
gentoo I'll be glad to hear it.

Defiantely a test to run would be to download and run memtest86. Just get the floppy image and write it to a floppy. Then boot with it in your drive and you're all set.


I would let it run for 10-20 passes or so and it'll let you know if your memory is ok.
