The Dell forums would likely be the best place for this. This one perhaps?

Looks like it means your memory sticks aren't compatible with each other. But that lady got it sorted by upgrading the BIOS, so perhaps you should see if there's an update available for your model

I only have one chip... 128M, SYNC, 100MHz, CL2 PC100-222-620 (16Mx64 SDRAM) But the bios looks fine... Reads it OK. (not that I'm up on bios stuff- I'm coming from a mac environment mostly.) But still, if it was the bios, would it tell not tell me the same thing booting from the CD? When I go into the bios to see if the card shows up, it does... ? -- Thanks, George "If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside." ~Robert X.

I am installing 9.0 on a Dell Optiplex Gxa 233. Boots from the CD fine- then installs what it needs (what I choose) Goes to reboot into grub and I get a message: "Memory Dimms are out of rev."

Can someone explain? The ram is good... It was a pull from another computer, and it boot from the CD fine. Bios looks fine...

last time I saw this was when a fellow technician tried to use 533 memory in a very fast new 800 motherboard. The memory was good but couldn't handle the bus speed. maybe check out what bus settings are in operation scsijon
