Hi, Gentoo,
My new Gentoo box has become unusably unstable.
The first sign was when the compiler threw a segfault whilst
emerging the xfce window manager. I "solved" this by emerging
Openbox instead.
Then I got another compiler segfault whilst emerging firefox (yes,
I know there's a binary for this).
everything you mention below is indicative of failing hardware,
especially RAM closely followed by PSU.
Yes, you're right. :-(
When I run memtest86 from the gentoo boot disk, it signals millions of
failures in b11 of 32 bit words.
I'll try unplugging and replugging these.
No help. :-(
No matter how I plug in the RAM (4 combinations of 2 sticks into 2 pairs
of slots) it is always b11 which fails and always at an address ending
in (hex) 0 or 8.
How is this DDR3 Ram organised? Is each stick 64 bits wide, or are they
32 bits wide, being accessed by the motherboard pairwisely? If the
latter, I would have exected the failure to move to address ....4 and
....C when I swap the two sticks. Am I being prematurely pessimistic in
thinking the motherboard might be the fault?

Sounds to me like the mobo may have issues. If swapping the ram around
doesn't move the error, then the chips on the mobo that connect to the
ram may be bad.
I would still rule out power issues if you can. A bad power supply, or
a weak one, can cause some pretty weird problems.
Hmmm, I would also try putting in two sticks, then running the test and
seeing what that says. If it still errors, try the other two sticks.
If it still fails in the same place, see if you can put the sticks in
the other two slots. Some mobos don't care what slot you have them in.
May want to refer to the manual on that.
Let's hope for something simple and cheap. ;-)
