  • ECC detection on Kabini

    I'm working with an Asus AM1M-A motherboard, BIOS 1201, and AMD 5350 APU. The memory is Kingston DDR3, 2x4G, ECC. My question is this: does the motherboard actually support ECC and is it working ?

    Memtest86 version 6.1 Pro reports "no". FreeBSD "dmidecode --type memory" reports "Multi-bit ECC". The BIOS says nothing about ECC or not. I suspect that memtest86 is correct but I would like to double-check before going back to Asus.

    From the log:
    MCA NB config=48B00044

    In previous post this would indicate that ECC is not enabled, so memtest86 is correct.

    Yes, the register values indicate that ECC is disabled.

    You may need to check with ASUS to determine whether it can be enabled.

      The word from Asus is that AM1M-A does _not_ support ECC. Their site has conflicting information about this. For instance, the specs on the Indian site say non-ECC memory, but the US site says ECC memory. The manual says ECC in one place but non-ECC elsewhere.
