I have enabled RAMTEST(ramtest.inc) in the LinuxBIOS, it seems to be running at a very slow pace.Hope it finishes off by today. *****Extract***** dump northbridge: 00: 86 80 24 71 06 00 80 00 03 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 86 00 24 00 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50: 28 53 09 3c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 70: cc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80: c6 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 90: 00 00 eb fb 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 Done.

The number(887?????) increments at a very slow pace and has been more than an hour now. Moreover, I have 64MB ram, does the above range of test look OK. If has basically happened after changing some parameter in the North Bridge. I have run ramtest before as well without the changes.

I hope, this what is expected in the Successful Output of Ramtest.
Any pointers on this one.
