I have 2 identical IBM x3650 M3 models 7945 which have been running RedHat 5.7 x86_64 for several months. I broke them down, added some RAM, mirrored some empty drives for boot/root and booted Knoppix 6.7.0 from CD to check things-out prior to re-installing RedHat. The BIOS reported the RAM and its clock speed as expected, Knoppix comes-up OK, everything looks ready for RH.

I thought I'd boot the "memtest" kernel from the Knoppix CD just to double-check. On both servers memtest reports 23 errors in the range 2040.0MB to 2044.0MB during Test 0 and then hangs the servers. IOW the errors reported are absolutely identical on both, so I'm inclined to think it's a memtest problem, not a real server problem. I can provide the full memtest messages if needed.

Is the Knoppix-supplied memtest maintained separately from Knoppix, or is this the right place to discuss this issue? If it is, any thoughts? Many thanks.....Nick G
