Shane,
Thanks,,
Unfortunately I must be doing something wrong
I'm using GRUB I believe and what I got in response during the boot was
mkrootdev: label: /MEM=512M not found
...and then a kernal panic...
I'm runing a memory test right now using memtest-86 v3.0 so I'll
confirm that the memory is good.. I would like to understand why the
above command did not work..???
