I just tried adding a second 512MB stick 'o RAM to my SuSE 9.0 system, and got a kernel oops upon rebooting.
At first I thought it might be bad RAM (even though both sticks are identical part numbers from Crucial), so I took out the known good working stick and replaced it with the new stick. System booted fine with 512MB as before. OK, so new RAM stick is good.
In case of doubt about memory, I like to run memtest, which comes with SuSE Linux. It can be an option on bootup. It's usually at /boot/memtest.bin. Paul Abrahams
