Could this also cause a system to be unstable? my abit athlon64 at work will not run x64 with more than 1gb ram, and i have a colo server with supermicro & 2 x dual core xeons that will not run with more than 2gb. Both systems have long uptimes but if i add ram they crash within minutes of booting. Tried several kernels up to 2.6.21 and gave up, I can send dmesg output but the crashes are completely random. andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
