Any RedHat compatible distribution, has a memory test included in the
first install CD.
Just boot on it, an type memtest or mem86 or memtes86 or something
like that to start the test.
Be carrefull, some VGA adapter share the begining of the memory and
this part of the memory must be
skipped to avoid false error.
Alain:
I installed off a DVD, which should be the same, so my one question
before I try this is "at what point to I get it to not do an
install/update but to give me a terminal (or single-user window) so I
can execute this command. Actually, being new to this, I don't even
know if this is something I get a terminal / single-user window for
as I don't know how early I am jumping in.
Boot off the CD/DVD. At the "boot:" prompt, enter "memtest86" and off
you go.
Thanks for the clarification on Alain's suggestion. I ran the test and
it immediately failed. To make sure I was doing things right, I tried in
on another machine (which worked) and am trying it on a third machine
(which I will check in on tomorrow morning)..
Though I am not seeing any problems running on the machine that reported
the error during yum update, I am figuring "I gotta hardware problem". I
am attaching a file of my transciption of the error with the hopes of
getting some confirmation / education / advice / sympathy / etc.
Thanks for the help in teaching me where the testing stuff is on Fedora,
Paul
