Hiya. My brother's computer (with Gentoo on it) has some memory problems quite probably caused by the motherboard (Memtest86 shows errors always at the end of test 5 and changing mem chips doesn't help). This obviously causes quite a bit of problems while compiling stuff, but under normal load it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Obviously the only long term solution is to get a new motherboard, but in the mean time I would like to update the system on the current hardware. I have two other Gentoo systems at my disposal (800MHz Duron and 400MHz K6-2, while the borked one is a Athlon XP 1700+ with DDR RAM) and they're all in the same network. So, any ideas on how I could sidestep the memory issue while updating the system? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
