[comp.unix.wizards] Interpreting memory errors

bossert@Thalatta.COM (John Bossert) (02/21/88)

On a 780 with 8Mb interleaved, I'm seeing:

	mcr0: soft ecc addr 1100dd syn 26        (DEC 1 Mb boards)

According to the formula, addr = 00xxxxyy where x is part
of "addr" and y is part of "syn", I have an address that
is way greater than 8 Mb...  Does the leading 1 in this
address have anything to do with the interleaving?  Does
it indicate the upper array?

Thanks in advance.
