Out of curiosity, I have a P90 running on a Gigabyte Intel 430FX-based motherboard -- when rebooting the box, I sometimes get the BIOS boot error message "Memory test failed" instead of a normal memory count. This is independent of kernel version and happens about one in three reboots.
Note that there are no other problems with the box; there's no problem with the memory itself. It is only after rebooting Linux that this happens. Never happens on a cold boot or after hitting the reset switch.
Does this happen to anyone else?
