DIMM went bad. No big thing. Your only problem may be to identify which one, he says, about to go into work to do just that.
Thanks for your response and suggestions.
About identifying the faulty DIMM: Is the memtest provided on the CentOS5 installation disk best tool for this purpose? And do I need to switch ECC off from BIOS while I test the memories?
The EDAC error msg reports problems with bank0. Can I trust this? I tried installing edac-utils to get more information, but after installation it only generates segmentation fault:
# edac-util --report=simple Segmentation fault
# edac-util -s Segmentation fault
# rpm -qv edac-utils edac-utils-0.9-6.el5

Hi Peter
One of my old HP DL585 had a similar issue but it turned out that the DIMM slots were at fault. The server chassis had few led blinking red for those DIMM slots and indicating that they are faulty. I removed the memory from those slot and re-inserted them to the spare DIMM slots and everything is working fine since then.
