Willy, |

Before you rebuild kernels etc, do you have a live CD, sysrescue, |
28 |
Gentoo minimal install, any of the Myth live CD's, lying around? Boot |
29 |
that and see if a "bog standard" configuration boots and displays the |
30 |
problem. If it gets up and is stable, then there is something in your |
31 |
actual config. If you have sysrescue, sysresccd.org, if it boots and is |
32 |
stable, you can then run a memory tester to see if anything manifests |
33 |
itself. |
