Trying to locate memory problems can really be misleading. You aren't sure yet that this isn't a memory problem, I think, and you have to be, before you go to blaming the board. How about swapping out the 512M you have installed now with the 512 you took out, and run that for a little while? It's *possible* you're absolutely right about the board, but I don't think anyone's going to trust that until you've covered the (logically required) bases. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
