I'm curious to know whether the following output :
bash-4.0# echo "memscrub_scans_done/U" | mdb -k
memscrub_scans_done:
memscrub_scans_done: 1985
means that Solaris considers ECC memory is effectively installed (the fact
that it is non-zero)?
I have installed unbuffered ECC memory (2x4GB crucial kit CT2KIT51272AA667).
The reason is that the vendor (ACER) of the mainboard says it is not supported,
and I can not get into the bios any more, but osol boots fine and sees 8GB.
Crucial says it's not supported because Acer says it's not supported... This
is an MCP78S based motherboard (apparently equivalent Asus and Gigabyte boards
are _supported_ platforms for this memory)...
