Re: custom compiled kernel

Yes the old kernel works fine.
However, indeed memtest even under a debian precompiled kernel gives a 
segmentation fault.
Time to replace the DIMMs.

Thanks Paolo.  Would have taken me a while to get to that.

Not much detail, but it does look like a hardware problem. Does going
back to the old kernel make the problem go away? Try having your DIMMs
tested via memtest also
