Hi,

I installed FreeBSD 2.1.7 on a PC that used to run NetBSD pretty well,
but I get panics on a regular basis

panic: Memory Parity Error: possibly hardware failure

Now I haven't got memory with parity bits, and in my BIOS the parity
check option is disabled. Are there any more possible causes that can
throw up this message.

Thanks 

Marcel
