How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ?
#########################################################
There are three possibilities I know of:
1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules
2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory
if you have spare-parts
3) Use BadRAM or memmap
This Howto is about number 3) .
BadRAM
######
BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch
here: http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/
For more details see the BadRAM documentation.
memmap
######
memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at
boot-time. Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to
calculate the values by yourself!
Syntax to exclude a memory area (see kernel-parameters.txt for details):
memmap=<size>$<address>
Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and
some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of
0x18690000,0xffff0000.
With the numbers of the example above:
memmap=64K$0x18690000
or
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
Computing file changes ...
