What DIMM manufacture model number are the DIMMs? What “rank” are those
models? What CPU is installed? How many CPUs? What model server/chipset?
What slots were the DIMMs installed in? Higher rank DIMMs will usually show
less/half size if installed in the same “channel” with lower rank in DIMMS
before the higher rank DIMMs.

So I (I am guessing) that alert message has something to do with 
ram/memory, but still wasn't able to actually read it since it 
disappears really quick.


Any ideas what the culprit here could be?

Hi Ron,

I replied to the list but I've come to believe my emails to the list don't go 
through.
Anyway, my reply was:
   I assume you already looked and didn't find anything in dmesg, right?

Please post to the list if it’s of any help. Thank you,
