Re: Q&A : Kernel Panic!

Hi Mario,
        I am quite sure your problem is a memory problem (hardware), which
is very common in cheap PCs. You notice this problem in squid because it
uses extensively RAM memory.

We had the ssame problems in our machines until we changed the memory to
good EDO ones.

Hope this helps,
