I've got a Debian Woody server (three-year-old dual Xeon thing) and as a
result of one or two little quirks (failed CRC sum for some gzipped
files etc.), I decided to run memtest on it.
The memtest produced an error at location '00000000000 - 0.0MB', with
output roughly as follows after running for about 16 hours (I've
transcribed this, so it might not be 100% accurate):

I replaced *all* the RAM in the box and ran memtest86+ again, and after
a few hours I'm getting an error at '00000000000 0.0MB' again, with
results similar to the previous run.
Is this memory address something 'magical', is it really part of the
main system RAM?
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here?
Thanks for all comments/suggestions...
Dave.
Dry joint on the memory socket in the motherboard? You've described the
classic symptoms of a dry joint failing at higher temperatures as the
system/motherboard warms up.
