Hello,
I'm getting Bcache errors which seem to indicate a faulty memory
module. How can I determine the faulty module, other than doing
a lot of module swaps?
Thanks for any advice,
Gernot
Some details:
I'm running Dig.Unix V4.0D+pk3 on a Digital AlphaPC 164 500 MHz,
Firmware revision: 4.9, SRM console.
The memory consists of 8 SIMMs a 32 MB, 60ns with parity,
the width of the memory bus is set to 256 bit.
A typical "dia" entry:
DECevent V2.8
