First I installed Red Hat 5.1 (kernel 2.0.35). Next I compiled the new
egcs 1.1b compiler optimized for a pentium (pgcc). I got a signal 11
in this attempt. Only after reducing my motherboard bus speed from 100 to
66 MHz, and CPU speed from 300 MHz to 266 MHz the compiler compiled.
I even tried anothor 100 MHz DIMM module, without success.
I'm using 2.1.123 kernel now, enabled the new VIA driver without success.
Where can I get those memory test utilities?
