[ale] Memory > 64 M

[Armsby John-G16665]

I would say they have the same 8 ns spec,66/100, but they are absolutely not
from the same manufacturer.  I can upgrade to a later kernel but then have
to deal with the CDROM and soundblaster lack of communication.  For now, I
will grit my teeth and live with it.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I had similar problems a couple of months ago. Make sure that all of your
memory
chips are from the same manufacturer (and of course have the same specs).
This
was causing my problem. Hope this helps.
