Per your request, I compiled a new kernel without APIC/IOAPIC
(realising only afterwards that I could have used kernel
parameters...).
However, the result is still the same:
embryo:~# memtest all [224]
memtest v. 2.93.1
(C) 2000 Charles Cazabon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Original v.1 (C) 1999 Simon Kirby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Current limits:
RLIMIT_RSS 0xffffffff
RLIMIT_VMEM 0xffffffff
Raising limits...
Unable to malloc 4293918720 bytes.

Allocated 753926144 bytes...trying mlock...
--> hard lockup
Yesterday, during random checking from within a 2.4.25-1-k7 boot,
I found 3 bad blocks in the swap space. So I turned the swap space
off. Without swap, the memtest in a custom 2.6.5 kernel looks like
so:
embryo:~# memtest all | less
memtest v. 2.93.1

And kern.log will report this:

Furthermore, the three bad blocks are gone from within 2.6.5
(custom).
If I boot back into 2.4.25-1-k7, the three bad blocks are at the
same spot as they were yesterday. But they only exist with 2.4.25.
Can anyone help me make sense of this?
