Uh Oh…

So, I ran into some troubles with the running of bootstrap.sh. I keep getting Oops’s and kernel panics all the time. I searched the Gentoo forums, and found recommendations to check the ram.

I hope against hope, keep reading to try and find another explanation (all the while knowing in my gut that it’s actually the RAM that’s at fault) and eventually give up and run MEMTEST86. 45000+ errors in a single pass. Not good.

I emailed NCIX to request an RMA, and they obliged. I guess I’ll have to wait a little bit before continuing my Gentoo fun.

    So when are we going to get an update on the state of things? I heard a rumour that you have the system installed or something like that? :P

    Whoops - I wrote up a big post, but left it as a draft…
