Hi,
I did another test using experimental-86-g07ed7f9.
Every tested configuration is working now, except the KVR800D2N6/4G that
I suspect is defect.
So tested ram modules from my side booting to Trisquel GNU/Linux:
- Samsung M378T2953EZ3-CE6 1GB
- Samsung M378T5663FB3-CF7 2GB
- Kingston KVR800D2N6/1G 1GB
- Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G 2GB
- Corsair VS1GB667D2 1GB
Full details and serial logs:
