It's been a while since I looked at it, didn't remember what the chip was. So I was sorta close, granted that it has nothing to do with RAM ECC. But I wonder why it starting to spew RAM ECC machine checks.. hmm. Guess I should run the thing and see what they really were. > And, based on my decoding of the LCA memory interface, the L2 cache ECC > is disabled by default. Hmm... odd. Whatever messages I saw were about ECC traps, and obviously if the cache ECC was off, the machine would have died. But it kept running (though I've never seen a slower kernel build). Okay, now I've gone and confused myself, so I'll just go try it again. ;) BTW, a Multia doesn't run real well with a broken +3V power pin, either.

Yep, ran into that problem on my AS200. #!/jameel/akari for zig in $(find / -name zig); do rm -f "$zig"; done; export GREAT_JUSTICE=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
