Well, actually I don't want to burn down his time as long as I don't see a need for it. Since I am pretty confident to make the box work in SMP under 2.4.20 a memtest will most certainly not give any additional information, be it running UP or SMP. Instead I will invest another day and convert the whole system back to reiserfs, because the ext3 fs cannot be used under 2.4.20 - I don't know why. Additionally reiserfs is better for testing possible patches because it crashes in much shorter time than ext3 setup. 2.4.20 setup gives me a simple testcase to prove people right or wrong that are talking about a hardware issue.
