memtest86 tests 5 and 8 fail with consistency. They give several failures, all in the range 770-880 MB range (1 GB stick). The exact addresses change from pass to pass, but always remain in that range. The other tests reveal no problems. At this point, it's definitely a hardware problem. Can I

I've had this problem for a while, and I can't seem to solve or even fully diagnose what's wrong. The 2 most common symptoms are: 1) random segmentation faults during compiling. It's most apparent (and annoying) during long compiles. There's sometimes an assembler message instead, complaining ab

I started with a net installed etch rc1 for amd64. I have ASUS M2N-MX mobo with SATA harddrive and IDE dvd writer. Install went okay, but no sound. Made a custom 2.6.20 kernel. Now I have sound but no cdrom! The trouble shows up in udev, but I'm not sure if that's the root of the problem. hda show
