I saw this link recently... http://home.zonnet.nl/vanrein/badram/ Apparently, you make a floppy with the supplied image, boot with it to find the bad RAM addresses, and then those addresses are passed on as a kernel parameter once the patch is applied. Bad addresses will be excluded from addressable/virtual memory from then on. Sounds like sometheing we could use, eh? jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org To Microsoft: "Your tyranny I was part of, is now cracking on every side.
