If I leave the modules in the sockets but 'disable' them through lilo.conf the machine still runs, using memtest however, gives calloc errors if I try to tell it to test more memory than is installed through lilo. I might be using memtest incorrectly also, the man page is a bit sparse and I cannot find the source to look through it.
I am using 'memtest 33554432 5' for 128MB, 'memtest 67108864 5' for 256, and 'memtest 100663296 5' for 384. Is this right?
