From df95e42e1f20a561f2fe0a632d5b8fd6c26f1bb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niklas Söderlund Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 13:12:15 -0300 Subject: edac: i5100 ack error detection register after each read MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If I only ack the detection register after a error have been detected I'm unable to reliably detect errors. I have verified this behavior using both an error injection DIMM and software to inject errors. I can't find any documentation supporting this behavior in Intel 5100 Memory Controller Hub Chipset, see 1. So this is all based on experimentation.
