Have you tried memtest86 (or memtest86+ :http://www.memtest.org) ? I once had a test box which suddenly started acting strangely, including being unable to compile a kernel. In that case, memtest reported the first error in a few seconds, followed by a lot more - some of the DRAM had failed. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
