To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 18 May 1995 01:40:07 +0100 (BST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 840 Sender: hardware-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk system: 486/33 isa, aha1542, 16mb added another 16mb and it went crazy with programs dumping core, and kernel traps all over the place. so i suspect the memory is bad (this machine has run with 20Mb previously, and has bounce buffers configured etc).. On FreeBSD 1.x, the memory test doesnt complain. I remember reading the BIOS's memory test is crap. What should I use to test memory? (currently the machine has 4x4Mb 30 pin 9-chip simms, giving 16Mb. the new 16Mb is 4x4Mb 30 pin 3-chip simms. that shouldnt cause any problems right?)
