For what it's worth: one of the Multia box I once owned died with such "correctable errors". Those would appear upon booting an OS, but SRM was juste fine. There was an error code displayed with the error message; after some in-depth searching through technical documentations and mailing-lists, it turned out to be an error inside the TLB, which is pretty bad since it is inside the CPU. Since the messages would appear at a very high rate, booting would take forever (especially since I had to use a serial console). --Thomas Pornin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
