The issues that I told about are related to older hardware not so well tested in *ubuntu 6.06 or higher. Are you still experiencing troubles after removing that RAM? It is also very recommendable to use the kernel 686 from the* stable* repositories. If after revert or upgrade to the 686 kernel and upgrade your system with the* stable* repositories the problems persists is time to think about a broken package or a hardware failure.
