A while back I could swear I saw a posting go by about how to determine
the location of a SIMM from the address provided in ECC reports like the
one below:
Aug 22 13:25:34 downpour vmunix: Machine Check error corrected by processor
Aug 22 13:25:34 downpour vmunix: Physical address of error ffffff0012fc6e8f Corrected ECC Error in Memory during D-Cache fill
Aug 22 13:25:34 downpour vmunix: Single Bit error in Quadword 1 at bit<20> in a Data bit
Aug 22 13:25:35 downpour vmunix: CIA Error Reg = 0000000000000000
Aug 22 13:25:35 downpour vmunix: CIA Error Status = 0000000000000000
Aug 22 15:51:06 downpour vmunix: CIA Error Reg = 0000000000000000
Aug 22 15:51:06 downpour vmunix: CIA Error Status = 0000000000000000
So far we have a couple of AlphaStation 500s that get a couple of these
reports a day, which is essentially harmless. If they get worse,
though, I'd love to know how to replace just the SIMM that's causing
trouble.
