eeprom driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You can read the contents of the eeproms more directly my looking in
the directories /proc/sys/dev/sensors/*eeprom*.  It is possible that
that slot is having issues.  Although your computer sounds like it is
running correctly??  If the eeprom(s) were unreadable, then at least
that DIMM would not be used for RAM for the system since the DIMM
contains the timings and such.
