Problem with dual p3 serverworks motherboard

[Pedro Pla <pedropla@holidaymarketing.com>]

Hello,

I have been having problems with some new Intel SCB2 motherboards and 
1-2GB ram. The root partition is on a hardware raid 5 with the intel 
SCRMR raid controller. I first noticed the problem after getting a basic 
debian installed when trying to compile the kernel, initially it gave 
the typical signal 11 and segmentation faults which made me think it was 
a memory problem, however changing memory didn't help, after that I 
suspected it might be a mother board issue and moved to the other 
motherboard I had for tests, and it gave the same. After I thought it 
might be a kernel issue, so I tried every kernel since 2.4.17 - 
2.4.20-pre11 with the pre10-ac patches applied.. in many different 
combinations. Some kernels didn't even seem to boot without several oops 
in the mem_alloc.c:89. Others booted fine and seemed to be stable till I 
did anything that used ram (including the dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/null) 
tests. Finally frustrated with my efforts I decided to see if it ran on 
a 2.2.22 kernel. No problems when booting but when trying to use any 
large amount of ram, or a kernel compile it gave the same errors. Could 
this be a hardware problem along all the hardware I bought? Or is there 
any known issues with this?
On a side note, I ran the memtest86 v3 and it gives no errors, however 
an earlier (2.8) version gives some errors in the ram?

Kind regards
Pedro
