Does it happen to work with "Unknown" or "None"?
No. They explicitly request single or multi-bit ECC. Though I was told
that Microsoft gives exception for this requirement.
Odd. Why do they care whether the VM reports (non existent) error
correction support.
The test probably does not realize it's a VM and SVVP runs the 2008R2
system tests - which requires ECC memory (and PCI express bus for
network and block devices, but that's another exception).
