  • You can edit the grub config (assuming you’re using Linux) and add reserved ranges for the affected physical address.

    find the linux boot command and add a memmap=<size>$<start> argument This tells the kernel to avoid the bad parts.

    In your case it looks like a relatively small chunk of bad memory so… memmap=64K$0x130FE0000

    I’ve used this trick to stabilise systems with faulty RAM and it works.





  • I was a bit of a deadbeat, I had a reasonably ok job but I was living in a tiny flat and spent most of the money I earned on drink and drugs, didn’t have a steady GF. I was into all sorts of extreme sports then and that led to a pretty serious biking accident requiring multiple trips to hospital. Was very lucky it wasn’t fatal.

    It was 2008 and that was the turning point.

    Maybe due my brush with death? I started to turn my life around. I stopped smoking. Changed my scenery. Quit my dead end job after finding better one. Moved from the city to the countryside to be with my girlfrend then got married.

    It’s hard to think all of that would have happend if that tree hadn’t been growing in that particular spot for me to crash into. Things could have gone very differently.
