Martina, In The Living Room, With A Network Card

Hmm.

I ran memtest86 on Martina*, the FRUDSed Linux box, overnight without any errors. Then I restarted the backup (yay for rsync) and after a few more gigabytes it crashed again. And again. And again. And again. Best effort between crashes was 13GB; worst so far was 3.

So I said, buggre alle thiss, and actually logged into it and wrote a little script to repeatedly md5sum 30GB of bzipped Usenet data. It's just completed its fifth pass.

If it's not memory, and apparently not the CPU, and not the disks or the controller, that only leaves one thing in the chain. One thing that is very easy to replace. As soon as I find one.

* Lina, Naga, Amelia and Sylphiel already being taken.

7 I suppose it depends on the amount of work done on the laptop battery power. I do a lot of work with Microsoft Office and Works, can't say I get much over two hours battery power, would this be about right for the Advent Roma2000?
