Hi,

STATUS = FAILED
MESSAGE = Memory Addr Blk Test failed

I think this message is bogus, but there is indeed somthing bad with memory.
I have 2x pairs of different labels (should be compatible). IBM and
Kingston marked
I mounted them interleavd (old SparcStation habit).
0 - 2 Type A
1 - 3 Type B
This is what used to work, but started to fial.
First, I tried swap 0 with 3. Still fail. Still put at DIMM 0! so it is
not the module?
I remove all memory, I get a no memory error. Fine.
I put IBM in Slot 0: fine.
I put IBM in Slot 0 + 1: fine
I put IBM in Slot 0 + 1, Kingston in Slot 2: error
I put IBM in Slot 0 + 1, Kingston in Slot 3: error (same module, just moved)
I thus suspect of Kingston "A" module that causes issues independently
of Slot 2 or Slot 3!
Thus I put module Kingston "B" in Slot 2
At this point I suppose all Kingston marked modules are an issue? Or
Slot 2 and 3 are problematic.
I put IBM in Slot 2 + 3: fine
This means that at the basic all slots are fine!
If I put Kingston in 0 + 1: fail!
Thus I put Kingston A in Slot 0: fail
Thus I put Kingston B in Slot 0: fail
To go 100% sure I borrowed two sticks from another machine and all 4
modules get recognized, full memory capacity and system boots, runs,
compiles: works
I can desume that my T1 doesn't like the Kingston modules anymore or the
BOTH failed in a month?
If I hadn't tested this system a month a go and personally installed
OpenBSD and did even some stress tests, I wouldn't believe this.
Cheers,
Riccardo
