I have been upgrading my kernel from 2.6.14 to get at the new wireless
stuff, but have hit a big problem.
When copying files, I get random (?) corruption, which is preventing me
from using my linux system (Linux From Scratch) as it affects compiling
as well (assembler complains about garbage in files).
Some examples:
cp ../Changelog-2.6.18 .

Everything is O.K using kernel 2.6.17.14, but 2.6.18 and beyond all have
this problem. It may take me months to sort this out on my own - any
suggestions?

In most (though not all), a single bit was flipped.
This is usually a sign of bad memory.
Give it a going over with memtest86+ ?

I have run memtest86+ twice without error, so I remain stumped. I can set up a loop to copy
a file and do a diff which runs OK, but when I boot 2.6.18 it drops out within a second or two.
