Hi list, I'm trying to diagnose what I think is a hardware problem causing random hard-locks of my debian sid machine. its an athlon xp2800 on an asus a7n266-vm board, 256 megs ram. it will randomly lock hard, no ssh, nothing. must reboot. so okay, lmsensors reports the voltage are out of whack, so since its an older machine, 5 years or so, I put in a new power supply. no good as sensors reports the same voltages as before, probably not a properly configured sensor config. bios reports all voltages spot on. (should have checked that first, oh well) next on my checklist os memtest. I've tried to boot into memtest from both the harddrive and the floppy that can be created with the memtest+ package. upon booting it says memtest is too big to fit in memory. wah? the memtest+.bin image is only 93K. any insight? thanks A
