Subject: RE: PowerEdge 1950 ECC question...
I cannot get the node to startup to the point where OMSA runs. It freezes on
startup with the bad RAM.

It seems probable that the memory fault is causing the BIOS to crash
before it gets a chance to enable ECC - thus no errors are logged. It
could also be a bus-loading issue with the FB-DIMMs (such that no memory
can be issued - maybe a faulty AMB chip on one of the sticks).
Try the system

Was the replacement RAM you used absolutely identical down to the part numbers
and number of sticks inserted? I had a very bizarre problem a year or two ago
with similar behaviour in non-Dell hardware

My original question (turning of ECC for memory testing) was hopefully going
to narrow down the issue.
It's probably possible to disable ECC after boot time using setpci (I've
used it to read and write the ECC status registers on Intel chipsets in
the past), but
