#7123: Haiku does not handle flaky/bad ram gracefully -----------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: stargatefan | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: System/Kernel | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: ram kdl gdb | Blocked By: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All Blocking: | -----------------------------+------------------------ I had a good sized fight today with a functional windows machine that had a stick of ram that could best be described as flaky. It was a older p4 machine with 768mb of ddr 267. The windows install ran fine "seemed uneffected but slow" but haiku would go into a revolt of non compliane and KDL and GDB. I replace the failing sticks of ram but it occurs to me that haiku needs a way to isolate and ignore bad ram sectors. I distreoyed all the error logs when I found the bad sticks as I knew what the cuase was. It was disturbing however to see windows boot and operate just fine while haiku had no stability in anything but desktop. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7123> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
