Hello Karel, Please explain this "proper ECC support" for every laptop user out there? I am not sure my system implements "proper ECC support", how to validate? Can you advise why OpenBSD developers still run laptops if they lack ECC? Kind regards, Anton Mon, 17 Oct 2016 21:48:47 +0800 Tinker <ti...@openmailbox.org> > Sometimes a machine goes unresponsive.

The idea to work around missing ECC support with software is as practical as using a system without hardware accelerated graphics / virtualisation. You're looking for ways to implement this yourself as I would not use it, unless obvious there is minimal performance penalty. It looks like there is absolutely no practical use of my expensive ECC setup, where I upgrade more often than I see the (any) ECC errors and the lockups you advertise. Can someone please explain how (if) OpenBSD does get ECC events reported? Kind regards, Anton
