I am currently running memtest86 here on my livecd. If there is no error, then this could be something else. Still strange for me on the stdout before my system reboots that says: "Cannot dump. Device not defined or unavailable." Does it mean that when loading the kernel, it cannot dump it to the / or some other designated place? Regards, GNUbie
