Hi,
I'm replacing some memory in my XL300, one of the 4 SIMM banks, with 4 x
32MB memory, but now I'm getting ECC errors: (dmesg)
CIA machine check: vector=0x630 pc=0x3ff80005dbc code=0x86
machine check type: correctable ECC error (retryable)
CIA machine check: vector=0x630 pc=0x3ff80005dec code=0x86
machine check type: correctable ECC error (retryable)
CIA machine check: vector=0x630 pc=0xfffffc000032f08c code=0x86
machine check type: correctable ECC error (retryable)
CIA machine check: vector=0x630 pc=0xfffffc000032f08c code=0x86
machine check type: correctable ECC error (retryable)
<sc 0(84,3e9,11ffffb88)><sc 53(8,3e9,11ffffb88)><sc 0(17,3e9,11ffffb88)><sc 53(8,3e9,11ffffb88)>
(not sure what the last message is)
The memory that was replaced did not have these ECC errors (I don't
recall ever seeing one).
Is there a way to trace to which memory module the problem is occuring
in? I have lots of the above type of errors in /var/log/messages to
analyze.
I'd read that the occasional ECC error is not a problem, but these are
occuring frequently. When running Netscape (OSF version), seti, and
compiling a kernel simultaneously, I'll get about 3-4 ECC errors a
minute, sometimes much higher if the machine is being used heavily.
thanks,
Wes.
P.S. Is the redhat axp-list down for everyone else too?
