Hi all,

I bought two 256MB chips for my PWS 500. 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?

TIA,

Jan
