| |
Nowdays the biggest problem seems to be slightly incompatible timings in between motherboard and physical RAM that hurts the most, not so much non-working bits in RAM devices. Is there someone who has a patch so that, in case of a kernel OOPS (or maybe SIGSEGV / SIGILL outside kernel) is checking at least the code page where IP register points to check if a bit has flipped? Could be done by checking the page on the Hard Disk or by a CRC method. Having a bad BIOS parameter so that _one_ bit changes randomly every hours is not an easy thing to detect - a message on the screen would be nice...
Etienne.
