Garcia, > > thanks a lot for the detailed answer and taking your time helping! > Morning Kirill, Finally i managed to solve the memory problem by replacing a 128MB PC133 module, same memory config (1x256+1x128 on that mobo) than previous, same environment then. Running memtest for almost 24 hours leads to no memory issues. Booted with 42.0.3 since few hours, sys up and running.

I've launched several I/O operations on usb disks to see if i can reproduce the bug, not "succeeded" by the moment but let me check it for several days. If i get again the panic, i'll patch the kernel and send you back the results, hope this help.
