I remember I had memory corruption problems with an old version of Etherboot few years ago. The machines were mostly AMD K6 based, network cards were SMC EPIC100 (Etherpower II) and/or RTL 8139.
Memtest86 (downloaded with Etherboot) complained about random errors. I think Linux didn't show any such illness. This was Etherboot 4.something. Upgrading to 5.something fixed the problem.
I suspect you're using Etherboot newer than 4.x though. I'd probably give memtest86 loaded from network a try. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
