I'll run memtest this evening and see what comes up.
We (at my company) have a hardware simm test device. Before I used the two
32MB simms I let it do some more/less extensive tests on the simms and it
reported no error.
Could it be that the hard-disk is faulty and the swap-space has corrupt
blocks?
Just a thought, because the filesystem should take care of corrupt blocks
in root- and userpartitions.
Thanks,
