>So IMO this would only be useful for private use. i don`t think so - at least i wouldn`t say it`s only usefule for private use if you mean "home use"
- think of developing countries where people cannot afford replacing their ram because of just "one bit out of millions" is bad - think of companies with large test/development environments which are not mission critical. we have many boxes out of service contract at work - and we still use them until they die or getting too old - think of a server which constantly crashes during a recover you try with grml - due to bad ram. should you really buy new ram for that machine if it gets replaced, anyway - and you just need it being running stable for the recovery process ? maybe this is just a theoretical scenario, but the discussion about the pro`s and con`s of badram patch is very controversial. anyway - i heard there will be an request for inclusion into mainline soon. roland > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Andreas Gredler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Gesendet: 30.10.06 13:55:46 > An: [email protected] > Betreff: Re: [Grml] BadRam/BadMem Kernelpatch > On Sun, Oct 29, 2006 at 03:02:15PM +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Description: > > > > BadRAM: Linux kernel support for broken RAM modules Summary: This page > > proposes an approach to support RAMs with defective addresses, This > > may open interesting business perspectives, where those RAMs can be > > sold under a white label for less money rather than discarded of > > without any profit. > > If you talk about business...
