We replaced mobo, RAM, CPU (to an Athlon but I wasn't allowed to install the Athlon kernel..), video card, RAID card, PSU and one hard drive (which is where the fire was).. I believe the RAM is OK (we regularly run memtest86) but will find time to run it again..
Preliminary memtest (default tests) ran fine for 2 passes; tried the cp again and it worked fine; now running memtest (all tests..)--will follow up if it fails! Should we put this down to gamma rays/the dodgy music coming out of the machine next door?
memtest (all tests) was fine (for one pass). It's now been running 2.6.1-1.57 happily for 24h.
the vm updates circa 2163 should have also fixed this.
