Re: Warning: received processor correctable error.

I have a DigitalServer 3305 (a whitebox AlphaServer 5/800) which has just
begun spewing this message on its console with alarming frequency. Alas, the

1. dying RAM DIMM? (if so, which one?)
2. dying CPU/cache/other irreplaceable part?
I mostly see this type of error due to correctable memory errors. The
machine check frame apparently is different for the various models of
alphas, and doesn't appear to be documented for many of them, so the
contents which presumably indicate the memory address isn't easily
available. I've thought about adding some kind of verbose option just to
dump some random information in the machine check frame, but haven't
gotten motivated enough to even look at it.
