When I plug them in with no other memory chips on board, the kernel boots and goes through the booting till "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle". Then suddenly it jumps back to SRM and reports: halted CPU0 halt code = 5 HAL instruction executed PC = fffffc0000668448 boot failure If I put in the new chips with some of my older *known to work* chips the booting just hangs at "Waiting 15 seconds..." forever. Now I don't know if the chips are bad (got them from ebay) or they just don't work in my system. The chips are from Kingston: KVR100X72C2L/256 256MB Low Profile PC100 ECC DIMM CL2 Any ideas?
