I have an Asus AM2 Mb which support ECC mem and at least with the Adaptec raid card (aacd) the problem does not happen (when ECC support enabled) I did 10x buildworld, ahc and mpt still same issue, first build cracks the data on da0s1a >On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 11:30:57AM +0200, Gary Jennejohn wrote: > > It's a driver problem.
