This morning I decided to tweak my bios settings, and spoted the SDRAM cycle field. Wondering if it would make things faster I set it from 3 to 2, rebooted, and wandered off to get some snacks. I came back to find some weird errors, so I rebooted again. I got more errors this time, but diffrent ones. I managed to get a console with the magic SysRq key, and mounted the rest of my partitons. Many of my commands were borked. A few more reboots resulted in diffrent errors each time.
Totaly confused, I pulled up a console on my firewall and got on IRC. After trying a boot disk which gave me I kernel panic, I asked if anyone had any idea what was wrong. Someone asked what I'd changed since it worked, then it dawned on me, my RAM must not like the cycle length of 2. So i set it back, and my system happily booted. I was wondering, are these symptoms similar to what one experiances with faulty RAM? _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
