Re: Kernel panics on new machine

[Rob Klingsten <bladex@coldstripe.com>]

Yes, I have the DIMMs in banks 1 and 2 out of 4 and I've removed and  
reseated them;  I have swapped out the SATA cable, there are no PCI  
or PCI Express cards (system is headless.)

And it looks like it was just that easy;  I pulled one DIMM and ran  
the system on a single 512, problem gone;  I wrote out 3 separate  
100gb files without incident.

It makes no sense to me as the RAM was fine in the other system, I  
never had problems.

Oh well, guess I'm getting new RAM.

thanks, sorry to trouble the list with such a trivial thing.
