 Hi
I ran memtest for about 5 repetitions without problem. Maybe if I leave it
tonight overnight runnning memtest something will show up. I'll try. Just
let me get home first and i'll post the /var/log/message and /var/log/dmesg

Is there anyway to filter out all the ansi stuff in order to watch boot.log
? It's quite confusing to watch it with all the ANSI stuff in between.
