memtest86 and memtest86+ (what are the differences anyway?) start running and then the machine freezes. There is also a user (root) space memory testing package which killed kdeinit so I got the vt login prompts. I logged in and rebooted. Googling for memory testing programs was disappointing. Any suggestions what to do next? I am also now with 2.6.8-2. Before that I used 2.6.8-1 and, IIRC, 2.6.7-4. Although I have rebooted the machine several times, but none with a serial console, only once I had to reboot again due to a kernel panic during boot. As an aside, I have problems with the serial console because apparently 2.6.8 does not have the support for my digi multi serial board. Can you shade some light about it? Aren't they revising the whole serial ports handlers?
