Hi,

I'm operating FreeBSD 2.2.7 on an ASUS T2P4S board. The chipset on this
board supports error detection and correction (ECC) in conjunction with
parity SIMMs. My board actually works with 256M parity memory and ECC
feature enabled.

My system runs 24h per day with manual reboots only after OS updates
every 3-6 months. Since I use my new motherboard (see above) I recognize 
spurious automatic reboots every few days, without any kernel panic or
syslog output. I suspect that this behavoir has something to do with my
ECC memory.

My questions:
* Is there any support for ECC in the FreeBSD kernel?
* How can I get log output of soft (e.g. correctable) memory errors?
* In the case of non-correctable errors: How can I get their address?

Thanks in advance
Burkard
