[gentoo-user] Testing memory

2003-07-30 Thread Jussi Sirpoma
Hi All,

Does any of the gentoo packages contain tools or other ways to test the 
memory. I have had problems compiling some of the larger packages (bug 
20600) and I would like to verify that at least the memory is working as 
it's supposed to.

Best Regards,
Jussi Sirpoma

emerge sys-apps/memtest86

you can even enter memtest86 from the Gentoo install cd or a Knoppix disk.

Thanks to all. The memtest86 was just what I needed. The memory was not 
the problem but running the test caused the cpu temperature to rice to 
~60 C (140 F) after only 7 minutes of testing. So it seems that my 
problem is overheating.
