memtest86 runs forever (until you stop it).  You determine when you
think it's run long enough to elminate the possibility/probability of
errors.

How about double-checking lilo's config that the root= parameter is
correct.  Are you trying to boot the exact same kernel as before?  If
not, do you have the disk controller compiled in or loaded from the
initrd?

HTH,

Would these suggestions apply if I can resolve the problem by resorting to the original RAM?

root= parameter is correct
same kernel - yes.
as for the disk controller, it hasn't been changed since the successful boots from the old RAM.
