No strange patches. Pure 2.6.3 dist kernel. We haven't run memtest86,
but as I mentioned above, we have 4 equal machines with error correcting
memory, so I find it unlikely to be a memory problem.

The memory might be fine, but the mainboard might still be borked. I have seen this once with Dell kit. Asuming can be dangerous. If you can spare the down time it is always a good idea to make sure.

In my experience XFS shows faulty memory quite fast. That's from personal experience.

Cheers

I don't make sense, I don't pretend to either. Questions?
