Dear list,
I'm getting memory checksum errors while booting up an rp2470 server. The messages are below, which pop up on the console during the memory testing phase of POST (particularly after the "memory config 7214" lines). I can't seem to find any documentation explaining the reasons why I'd get "checksum errors" with memory that apparently works ok.
- Is this a critical error because of faulty memory modules? I tried switching around the modules but it did not change when the errors appear. (always comes after the 7214 lines)
- Or is this really a "non-critical" error because they are third-party modules? Installing and booting the OS went fine. The OS reported the correct amount of memory, etc.
Thanks in advance.
