Folks,

Ok, here is where I'm at and it does not look to good..
On the Memory front

I ran DocMemory over night (15+ hours) and it has passed 13 iterations of the test sequence. I had also run memtest86 and it did show some problems. I had called Cruial and they had recommended DocMemory.. I'll call them again and see if they have any further ideas..

Booting Linux

Using mem=512 still sometimes causes a kernal panic during the INIT. I get different errors each time I try it. Sometimes it just hangs right before the INIT with the output at:

Freeing unused kernel memory 160k freed..

Other times it gets started on the INIT sequence and spits out some error relating to either not finding a "file" or memory allocation . Interestingly now I'm getting a different error.. immediately after entering mem=512 and pressing enter I get

Error 28: Selected item can not fit into memory

???

I then removed half of the memory and tested with and without the MEM=256

with: I got the above error twice and then on the third time it made it to the INIT.. then froze
without: Always froze at "Freeing unused kernel...." which is right before the INIT.

There appears to be no settings in CMOS that might affect this.. so I think I'm SOL..

Any further WAGs...???
