I am considering getting a Triton II motherboard for ECC memory checking.
Does anyone know if there are any Linux-specific issues about Parity/ECC
memory checking? In particular, will the system record if there is a memory
error, or will it just crash and give a BIOS error? Also, is there any way to
verify that memory checking is actually enabled on the system (on both the
hardware and software sides)?
Thank-you for any information,
Richard.
1. ECC/Parity interrupt handled?
I have heard that the ECC circuitry on some newer chipsets
(Such as the Natoma used with the PPro) generate an interrupt
when a single bit error is corrected. If this is true, how will
Linux (2.0.x) kernels react to this interrupt?
E.G. Will a 'parity error corrected' result in an 'unexpected
interrupt' halt instead of a 'parity error system halted'
condition of will the kernel go its happy way without ever
letting me know there was an error?
thanks,
hank
