Is there something usefull in syslog?
Like what, "kernel: hey, your expensive new memory is defective"? I
wish, then we'd know what the problem was. :P
Certainly it shows nothing userspace-segfault-related. Here's a diff
between the kernel boot messages for a regular boot and a boot with the
new memory. The differences are mostly a) more memory and b) slight
differences in timing that you'll see on every boot.
