On Red Hat, I’ve seen several issues where PAE kernels were not installed. Someone called their data center, had the ram updated, but failed to install the appropriate kernel. For would very large server provider, I saw them go through 4 sticks of RAM before realizing it was the OS.

We always run memtest (until test#4) on all our new servers, you’d be amazed how many memory modules actually fail. (From my experience, maybe 1 of 1000. (including single-bit errors, and non-”critial” errors.))

I’m sure you could run many of these systems without noticing this problem, but better safe than sorry! :D

This mailinglist seemed pretty interesting at a first glance but has time after time proven itself rather low-tech.. When upgrading servers it could be useful to make sure you stick the right kinds of memories in the machines, how insightful..
