sorry for the off topic not NetBSD related question... I have purchased 4 RAM modules last week from Crucial. 4x256MB 168 pin DIMM SDRAM PC100 ECC to install them on a Compaq XP1000 machine. I Removed from my machine the 8X64MB I had and installed the 4x256MB new modules. RAM does not work, when machine starts it keeps beeping like if no RAM were present. I Tryed to add the 4 old RAM modules in the 4 left empty sockets. Thus 4x256MB + 4x64MB but same does not work. It works only with the old RAM and with all the 8 sockets filled. The old RAM filling 4 sockets does not work as well. BAsically I am not able to make XP1000 work with less than 8 modules loaded.... Do I need to have all the sockets filled with same modules capacity ?? IT looks weird.... Do I need to reset something in the SRM before installing new ram ? any hints ? thanks Rick
