Well, unfortunately, no luck to me.

I got four cheap 256MB DIMMs in a auction, and installed
them.  At the first glance it seems to work fine but,
strange enough, `ls` started to complain that some
files could not be seen.  After a reboot, the file-
system was corrupted and I had to run fsck manually,
but couldn't completely recover errors.  So I decided
to re-install the distro, but I couldn't even install
it; the installer stopped after language/keyboard 
selection.  Sigh.

The DIMMs are second-hand ones and they may be broken,
although the seller said they checked that the DIMMs
worked fine.  Anyway, the issues should be related
to the DIMMs in some ways, because by re-installing
old (four 128MB) DIMMs I could again install the
distro...

Ah, the new ones are MT18LSDT3272G-133B1, which are
registered ECC...  This may be the reason...

Yours,
Kazuyoshi
