PerAntonRønning: [about memtest results]
Yes, it came through. I run 5 full passes and got error count =0, but is 5 passes ususally enough?
Probably is a good enough indicator.
Yes. Yesterday I went out and let another memory test run, and when I came home it had completed 13 passes, still with error count = 0. I suppose that the error count is not re-initialized to 0 every time a new pass starts, since every new pass occupies the same statistics line on the screen, at least in my version of memtest. Q:Does memtest produce a log file? At least I don't find one in /var/log, but then again, I gurss a logfile would not be possible since the file system is not mounted.
In conclusion, I guess my memory chips are OK. Could there be a bus problem, or something up that alley? Is there some way of testing she screen card in a similar manner? I still hesitate to believe that all the Linux distros that I have tried produce the same screen freeze condition.
I am seriously planning for FC7, I have located the FC7 version of "The Bible" (Christopher Negus - published on Wiley: "Fedora X and Red Hat Enterprise Linux X-1, X=5,6,7,---) , this has been a quote good and comprehensive FC5 manual. Does anyone have a better suggestion, by the way?
