Don't rule out hardware. This SuSE 10.0 x86 box worked without problems
on kernels up to 2.6.15-rc6-git2, but I experienced strange apparent
filesystem corruptions/compile failures running normally and hard
lockups when running mythtv with 2.6.15-rc6-git6 and 2.6.15-rc7, while
on the Mandriva 2006 x86 box and the SuSE x86_64 there were no problems.
Until I found the suspect SDRAM, on some occasions I had to run
reiserfsck before 2.6.15-rc6-git2 would boot again correctly after
trying rc6-git6 or -rc7. Finally I got a corruption again with
2.6.15-rc7, replaced the SDRAM stick with the one taken out previously,
booted up on 2.6.15-rc7 with no problems. I had run memtest some days
earlier, but only for a couple of hours. (current uptime 1 day 1.04hrs).

Hmmm.. It looks, it is time to run memtest on my box. Thanks for the tip.

Regards,


It's strongly recommended. I've now found that both SDRAMS with the same batch number are experiencing the same error with memtest, that's after I had a lockup with the one I thought was good. They will be replaced under lifetime warranty by Kingston memory. I've temporarily stuck a PC2700 512M stick in and it's been solid under memtest and with a full workload.
Regards
Sid.
