I don't know what are not reasonable results in top - haven't ever |
11 |
seen such results. IMHO it shows correct values about memory, |
12 |
processes, buffers and cpu load. |
13 |
|

I tryed grub 0.96, 0.97 with same results, reemerging them didn't |
15 |
helped. If you use grub what CFLAGS do you have? I've got "-march=i586 |
16 |
-mcpu=pentium3 -O -pipe". |

|

If it is memory failure what other effects would I see on my system? |
19 |
My friend had broken RAM and linux was very unstable, he had random |
20 |
compilation errors and other strange effects. |
21 |
|
22 |
Is it possible that grub "wants to have" RAM in first memory slot and |
23 |
I have it in second one? |
24 |
|
25 |
I'll leave memtest for a night. |
