Right, and note that the problem might not be the memory -- I
had an old P75 to set up last week, and it constantly crashed under
load. memtest86 said the memory was good, and indeed it was. The
problem was with the second level cache -- once disabled, the board
run fine. I suspect that cache doesn't play together with DMA disk
access.
