Cc: hardware@FreeBSD.ORG, jfarmer@goldsword.com Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk To throw another note in this thread (& perhaps tie it into the parity thread...) I just noticed this on the Asus web site: (URL: http://www.asus.com.tw/Products/TECHREF/P5/430hxq&a/K6-ParityErr.html) Question: I get a memory parity check error when ECC/Parity option is enabled in BIOS setup on my motherboard with a AMD K6 CPU installed. Answer: Please upgrade your BIOS with version 0203.004 or above to fix the problem. I don't remember the BIOS versions of the various "test" systems...
