Re: [gentoo-user] Help needed for installing KDE

[Michael Crute]

When you boot the livecd at the kernel prompt (where you normally type gentoo) you should type memtest86 to start memtest. I'm pretty sure thats how I did it last time I needed it but I'm not gonna reboot to find out :)

Hi,

the first suspect when the box behaves abnormal, is to run memtest86 for a
while - like 4h.

If it finds some errors, congratulation, ou found the culprit - if not, try
something different ;)

If your dma-errors are harddisk related, a new ide-cable may solve your
problem... this little bastards are broken so fast and easily, it is
sickening.
