Running memtest86 from a Knoppix LiveCD on an HP pavilion ze4400 laptop.
No errors, but the laptop powers off consistently after about 35 minutes
of testing.
I am no expert in this area. To understand the problem better, could you
tell me, if you are using anything like acpi and/or X?
Thanks for the response.
When you run memtest86 from a Knoppix LiveCD, neither Linux (the kernel)
nor Debian (the OS) is involved (except perceptually perhaps, in that
memtest86 is available as a Debian package). It's like dual-booting,
only instead of dual-booting between something like Knoppix and Windows,
you're dual-booting between Knoppix and a single application. So X and
acpi parameters to the Linux kernel, etc, are irrelevant, but your
suggestions demonstrate some good trouble-shooting skills on your part.
Again, thanks for the response; it's appreciated!
