Hello. Has anyone come across anything like this before. The system is a perfectly running Debian 2.2r2 with an AMD K6-2 500mhz with 256M mem (two 128M sdrams). I swapped out the two sdrams and installed one 256M sdram. The bios sees the memory OK and starts the boot process. Linux evidently sees the memory OK (line 2 below) but then gets to line 5 and spits out the rest and then the kernel panic in line 22. Can anyone shed any light on this or am I right to assume that this is the result of a bad memory module?
