Just today I ran it on a 2.6.28 kernel, with X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y and I found the following in /var/log/messages: Corrupted low memory at c000fe2c (fe2c phys) = 00000010 Corrupted low memory at

produces a corruption in the same regions of the memory. When the system crashes, I get a complete freeze (though once or twice I've got an Oops). The documentation says I can use memmap to stop the kernel from using this memory. Will try that next...
