This is interesting...  I tried to load memtest86 from the CentOS 5.5 
Install DVD, and the system immediately rebooted.  I eventually loaded 
memtest86 from an OpenSUSE 11.4 install DVD I had laying around, and 
that ran OK.

I ran memtest86+ starting Friday about 6 pm and stopping Monday morning 
at 10:45 am.  Almost 70 full passes were completed, and no errors were 
found.

Best Regards,

Dave Windsor
