I ran memtest86 and you're both right... bad ram. :( memtest found bad ram in test 5 not on the old machine but on a newer machine that I didn't suspect. I've been running this machine for a while without any obvious problems so it's surprising to me... installed debian and compiled kernels without problems... Should I be thinking of reinstalling from scratch after replacing the ram? :( Is there a way of checking md5sums of installed debs?
