List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello, still looks like a memory error. How long did memtest86 run? We have some boards were memtest86 also finds no errors, but suddenly after an uptime of about 2 weeks, the ecc-module, detects single and multible bit errors. Any chance you use ecc-memory and monitor whats happens when you copy the data? We think we solved this problem by simply adjusting the CAS-latency-bios setting to a higher value. Can you give more details about your hardware? E.g. our boards with serverworks-chipset had also had similar problems - solved with the last bios-update. Did you try to disable all non-needed, speed-, highmemory- and agp-modules in your kernel configuration? You might see that our group also rather often has related problems, so I just gave some hints based on my experience with such problems ;-) Best regards, Bernd On Monday 11 August 2003 14:56, war wrote: > Yes, I've run memtest86, it shows no errors. > > On Mon, 11 Aug 2003, Bernd Schubert wrote: > > Hi, > > > > just as usual, ever performed a memtest86-check?
