Subject: x86: memtest: WARN if bad RAM found
|
|
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/613321
|
|
Forwarded: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1286471
|
|
|
|
Since this is not a particularly thorough test, if we find any bad
|
|
bits of RAM then there is a fair chance that there are other bad bits
|
|
we fail to detect.
