The only thing defective I can see here is you:
1. You posted this to a totally inappropriate mailing list. 2. You posted with a tone that shows you are totally uninterested in getting help with your problems. 3. You have failed to use the proper support channels. 3. You trouble shooting skills are defective: If you think that a Linux distribution that works just fine for test of thousands of people fails to a buggy linker then you are a fool.
Just because it works with other software doesn't mean that the memory is good. If you have a single bad bit, then you are very sensitive on alignment a different piece of software may have no issues.
But why should I expect anything reasonable from a poster at analogic.com? (apologies to those there who have improved!) :)
