my system is a Phenom II with 4GB ECC memory and Asus "M4A785TD-V EVO" MoBo running current git kernel. ECC is enabled in the BIOS. The amd64_edac_mod module can only be loaded using the ecc_edac_override. Below is the output of debug messages enabled.

can you please send me your whole dmesg. Also do as root

lspci -s 18.3 -xxxx

and send me that output too. Furthermore, what is your exact BIOS version and what is the exact model name of the DIMMs, how many are there, are they identical and how are they placed?

I attached full dmesg, lspci and dmidecode (in case it helps) output. The DRAM is 2 pieces of "Kingston ValueRAM KVR1333D3E9S/2G", BIOS ver is 0602 (from 01/07/2010). Can't say for sure because the machine is remote, but acording to dmidecode, BANKS 2 and 3 are occupied (wow - RAM is a bit overclocked, same as processor - could this be a problem?).

Thanks!

Marvin

The output of "decode-dimms" is often also worth a look....

Cheers,

Tim.

unfortunately, there is no module available to communicate with the eeprom.

In the mean time I found the reason for the error. The "real" CPU is a two core Phenom (Phenom II X2 555 / BE 3.2 GHz). Two additional cores where enabled and overclocked to 3.6 GHz in the BIOS setup (so BIOS reports X4 B55 / 3.6 GHz). While this runs well under normal conditions (no crashes), other things seem to suffer - like EDAC (also powernow-k8 has problems selecting the right clock frequency and needs ignore_ppc option).

Sorry for the false report.

Marvin
