unspecified "motherboard problem" (after that I didn't bother to try
and fix the machine). A graphical driver bug will most likely kill the
X server, but may not affect the kernel (and level 3 operation). You
can run memtest to see whether there's anything wrong with your
memory. If memtest hangs as well, I'd suspect a motherboard or power
supply problem.

Hi
I ran memtest for about 5 repetitions without problem. Maybe if I leave it tonight overnight runnning memtest something will show up. I'll try. Just let me get home first and i'll post the /var/log/message and /var/log/dmesg
Is there anyway to filter out all the ansi stuff in order to watch boot.log ? It's quite confusing to watch it with all the ANSI stuff in between.
