Dear, is there any way to inspect a running STABLE machine for the presence or state of ECC memory before an MCA "error detected" message actually occurs? In comparison when I quickly boot the machine in question with a Linux live CD, I find (among other EDAC messages) the following output in its dmesg: ... EDAC amd64: ECC is enabled by BIOS, Proceeding with EDAC module initialization ... During POST, die BIOS also tells me that ECC memory is installed, so far so good. But I was a little surprised that the FreeBSD kernel tells me absolutely nothing about it. Or do I have to tune loader.conf variables? TIA, Riggs
