[Beowulf] Fwd: H8DMR-82 ECC error

You should be using the HPL implementation of the Linpack benchmark
for testing memory. It exercises all of the memory and all of the
cores, and is what most HPC vendors seem to use for node burnin.
There's even a bootable DVD with a kernel with enhanced EDAC that was
mentioned here a while back.

And I take it that the location information given here (socket 0, bank
2) isn't useful?
