I have seen similar behaviour in previous experience (with uniprocessor |
| 15 |
boards), i.e. all memory sticks (even confirmed good ones) bring up errors in |
| 16 |
the same place when plugged into the board in question. |

I've never attempted to look in detail for the cause of the problem, you'd |
| 19 |
suspect a faulty memory controller of some sort. In my experience, I've just |
| 20 |
replaced the board, and that has solved the problem. |
