RE: Problems with too much memory
If I leave the modules in the sockets but 'disable' them through lilo.conf
the machine still runs, using memtest however, gives calloc errors if I try
to tell it to test more memory than is installed through lilo. I might be
using memtest incorrectly also, the man page is a bit sparse and I cannot
find the source to look through it.
I am using 'memtest 33554432 5' for 128MB, 'memtest 67108864 5' for 256, and
'memtest 100663296 5' for 384. Is this right?
