1 I have no problems with 2.6.20-r10. I ran it for 4 hours last night and
2 some weeks before this. 2.6.20-r6 before that, again no problems.
3 2.6.22-r8 and 2.6.23 both die as soon as cactid or nagios start running.
4 I really don't think this is bad ram anymore. I'll see if I can get an
5 exact test for others to try. Any other kernel debug tweaks I should try?

7 Thanks for all your help,
