Bug#684666: R: Bug#684666: R: Bug#684666: AMI BIOS detected: BIOS may corrupt low RAM, working around it.
Hi,
The 4gB module B of the 8gB set isnt working.
(B is the one that caused a system crash the last time i used it. It is the
same that gave me *no* errors when i tested it via memtest86+)
after 4 hours i had a kernel panic: the notebook started a continuos
'beeeeeeep' and on the screen syslog-like messages appeared.
I remember reading something about "swapper" and then at the bottom of the
screen "kernel panic".
I was downloading a file via iceweasel and watching a movie via IRC/xdcc with
the command:
nc -v -v -n IP PORT|pv|mplayer -cache 500000 -
when suddently all crashed.
the ramdisk was 1gB and the tmpfs mounts (are they ramdisks?) are:
/run (376M)
/run/lock (5M)
/run/shm (752M)
Now i have replaced the module B with the module A* and i'm going to do
exactly the same things i was doing (a web dwl + an Irc stream opened bia
mplayer with cache == 500M ) to see if it crash again.
* (the other 4gB module of the 8gB set, "A" is the one that worked well last
time i used it alone)
ciao,
Asdrubale
