"Green always indicates a problem with memory."  I remember reading that a
long time ago on the net.  The same thing occurs when I do a cold boot, but
never when I do a warm boot.  Also, I get the entire 512K and never seem to
have problems out of the ordinary.  Therefore, I was not sure if I had a
problem or not, or if memory was only checked during a cold boot.

I put off responding in hopes that someone else has a more definitive
or extensive answer.  Does everyone else see green at the start of a cold
boot?
