Cool! I grabbed 0.14 and added some code from their development branch for serverworks: FreeBSD/i386 (ugly) (ttyd0) login: ECC: monitor version 0.14 (Oct 10 2001) ECC: vendor 0x1166 ECC: device 0x9 ECC: Chipset ECC capability - ECC with hardware scrubber ECC: Current ECC mode - ECC with hardware scrubber ECC: Bank Size Type ECC SBE MBE ECC: 0 128M SDR Y 0 0 ECC: 1 128M SDR Y 0 0 ECC: 2 128M SDR Y 0 0 ECC: 3 128M SDR Y 0 0 ECC: Total 512M I have no idea if it actually works, as this box is quite stable. I've left the newer code at: http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/ecc-0.14-freebsd.tgz Cheers, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
