My apologies for resurrecting this thread, but I am curious whether you have had any success enabling ECC on your M2N-SLI machine, using either the BIOS or the setpci scripts. I am experiencing a similar issue with my M2N32-SLI machine. The BIOS reports that ECC is turned on, but smbios reports that it is turned off: ID SIZE TYPE 0 106 SMB_TYPE_BIOS (BIOS information) Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version String: ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE ACPI BIOS Revision 2001 Release Date: 05/19/2008 Address Segment: 0xe000 ROM Size: 1048576 bytes Image Size: 131072 bytes Characteristics: 0x7fcb9e80 ID SIZE TYPE 63 15 SMB_TYPE_MEMARRAY (physical memory array) Location: 3 (system board or motherboard) Use: 3 (system memory) ECC: 3 (none) Number of Slots/Sockets: 4 Memory Error Data: Not Supported Max Capacity: 17179869184 bytes -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
