You might need to "emerge hdparm" first. > When I run the memtest from the Live CD, it dies in pass2.

That's what memtest is for - to test all combinations that might cause a failure, even though you may rarely do those things live. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
