14 I had bad-page errors as well. What I did was wait to see if the adres
15 stayed the same. In my case it was, and I can only conclude it was bad
16 ram. And with 2GB for only desktop useage, I didnot get the massage
17 often. Besides, in my case memtest did not get the faulty page. Even
18 after 8+ runs. atm I add the badram-patch to my kernel, so i can pass
19 the faulty page address to the kernel, in order to have it ignored.

21 I got this page broken:
22 page:c1b1fdc0 flags:0x80000000 mapping:00000001 mapcount:0 count:0
