Re: please help - kernel OOPS

["Deon George" <kernel@wurley.net>]

Alan/Eran,

Thanks for your TIPS - I'm thinking that it is the memory being the problem.

I download and run memtest86 v3 and I have many errors (25-35) when it run test #3 
and test #4 (I'm just memtest86 without any configuration).

Given that this is the 2nd (different) type of memory Ive tried - I'll get my 
supplier to give me something else and hopefully that'll fix the Ooopss..

Thanks for your tips!
