Re: sdram and linux

thanks for the info. The motherboard recognizes the memory as sdram just fine and linux starts up ok but then the problems start. Mostly, applications stop and disappear from the desktop without warning and the file system (as fsck reports) becomes corrupted. The machine never locked up and it

sdram and linux #2

Thanks for all the replies. I can appreciate the possibility of the hdd going bad, but it has been operating flawlessly before and after trying to use the sdram, but that doesn't exclude the possibility. Tried the old mem and both the .30 and .33 kernels this morning with absolutely no problems.

Re: sdram and linux

It sounds a lot like memory that is not fast enough (or not enough wait states). It might also be some sort of "addressing error" that does not show up in Win. Also, did you tell lilo that you have more than 64M of memory? -- best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EM

Re: sdram and linux

I've got 128MB of ECC SDRAM in my hamm box and haven't had any problems. Some people say that you should only use SDRAM that is certified to work with your motherboard. Did you set up your BIOS to use SDRAM instead of DRAM? -Ossama _

sdram and linux

Hi. Just looking for a little more info. Just installed 64megs 168 pin sdram (replacing the 64megs of the usual type 72 pin edo stuff) in my system and it appears to be causing file system corruption, as indicated on boot up by fsck (attempted boot up, actually). Booting from the rescue disk and
