With the bad-ram patches (which I think only work on ix86 but might now
work on other architectures), yes it can.  This patch (which has been
around for a while but I do not think ever made it into the formal kernel)
allows bits of real memory to be ignored and never used, rather in the same
was as you can step past a bad sector on a disk.

I don't know what OS the rover uses, but are you implying that Linux
tolerates bad ram any better?
