Summary: 2500 gurus until warm


I just bought a 2500 (so it is still under warranty), and it has the
problem that it continuously gurus until it warms up.  It does not
guru if I boot in 68000 mode, and it does not guru if I run a memory
test program that I compiled to be placed in chip ram as the first thing
in my startup.  As soon as this memory test program is complete, it then
gurus, even though the memory test indicated all ok.  I take this to
mean that there is a problem with the board having two successive memory
dips into 32 bit ram until everything is warmed up.  This is clearly a
problem, since I do *not* mant to have to wait 5 mins. every time I boot
before I use my machine.  But the store I bought it from says the only
solution is to cart up the whole 2500, even though it is a problem with
just the 2620, and send it back to Commodore.  I can't afford to have my
amiga gone the amount of time it would take for them to get around to
sending me something back.  Anyone have any suggestions or related 
experiences that might be of help?
