RE: [SLE] Ext2fs implosion when RAM added (redux)
Hi, Which bank did you put the DIMM in. On my S1590 it says not to use the bank0 DIMM slot if you are using SIMMs at the same time, since the SIMMs are also defined as bank0. Check to make sure you are not using the wrong DIMM bank. Good luck, Tim P.S. I also have another board (can't recall the make now, it's not Tyan though) which says not to use 5v SIMMs with 3.3v DIMMs. That's o.k. I found a place for those 72 pinners and P133 I've got, can anyone say smokin' firewall :-)

Hi,
just a few thoughts about that

You didn't give the kernel a mem=... option telling it you have 132MB of RAM, did you? You only have 128 and if the kernel thinks you have 132, well...
When I removed the additional 64MB memory and repeated the procedure, there was no difficulty with the final check and my system was working properly.
Have you tried to removing the old module and leaving the new one in? Does this cause errors?
Ciao, Stefan

BTW, I remember some problems on SIMM and DIMM co presence also on my Epox board. So, it's maybe worth to check the mainboard manual. regards, Stefano Tim Duggan ha scritto:

The Tyan manual shows examples of memory configurations with both SIMMs and DIMMs present at once. Also, memtest86 found no errors after running a couple of hours.

By sheer luck I put it in the middle (bank 1) slot, and later discovered in the Tyan manual just what you said. The bank 2 slot was hard to get at because of the nearby cables, and the bank slot was easiest. I suspect that if I had mistakenly put the memory in bank 0, the symptoms would have been spectacular. By the way, I've run memtest86 on the entire 128MB for a few hours without any errors.
