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. |
