Hello,

A NAS seems to be having RAM problems, leading me to want to swap
out DIMMs until I found the offender; I'd rather not go to the rack
every time I need to make a change.

Is there a way to declare a DIMM unavailable to Linux with a boot
parameter? There is mem= and memmap= but i cannot figure them out.

I have two 4Gb DIMMs in there and I just want to disable one, then
the other…

This is the e820 physical RAM map:

[    0.000000] e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009e7ff] usable

[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000022fffffff] usable

But what do I do with those info?
