It seems, that BadRAM is not being maintained very actively and the original author

approve this and some "central point of communication" besides Rick van Rein
doesn't seem to exist. There is a fork named BadMEM at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/badmem, Memtest86 also supporting BadRAM and i have seen
LOTs of discussion about BadRAM on the net. Most of that discussion was due to problems
getting it run with Kernel XYZ.
Basically, this feature is a matter of adding/modifying 200 lines of code, so
iŽm even more wondering, why it exists for more than 7 years and nothing
happening here.
Because most kernel developers don't have time to scour the net for
random kernel patches and pull them. If you have a useful patch you
want merged it's up to you to push it.
What's so hard about submitting a 200 line patch to LKML?
