Re: [Soekris] Faulty memory?
I have now tried with several PSUs and same result. I even bought a new one today and it still only detect 410 MB at boot. Any point is trying to have it repaired, since it just went out of warranty?

Always check your power-supply as the first thing, 99 times out of 100 that is the problem. If the problem persists with a known good power-supply, then suspect hardware trouble. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] Faulty memory?
I'm 99.9% certain you have bad memory - the instability and the sudden memory drop are a dead giveaway. Will something like memtest or goldmemory work on a soekris box?
