Hi,

So configuring ECC to be on by default in nvram has no effect?

Sincerely,

  OK i flashed a recompiled version with nvram options

 ECC is enabled by default:
 boot_option = Fallback
 reboot_counter = 0x0
 interleave_chip_selects = Enable
 interleave_nodes = Disable
 interleave_memory_channels = Enable
 max_mem_clock = DDR3-1600
 multi_core = Enable
 debug_level = Debug
 ecc_scrub_rate = 1.28us
 slow_cpu = off
 nmi = Disable
 gart = Enable
 power_on_after_fail = On
 ECC_memory = Enable
 ECC_redirection = Enable
 hypertransport_speed_limit = Auto
 minimum_memory_voltage = 1.5V
 compute_unit_siblings = Enable
 cpu_c_states = Enable
 cpu_cc6_state = Enable
 sata_ahci_mode = Enable
 sata_alpm = Disable
 dimm_spd_checksum = Enforce
 probe_filter = Auto
 l3_cache_partitioning = Disable
 ieee1394_controller = Enable
 iommu = Enable
 cpu_core_boost = Enable
 ehci_async_data_cache = Enable
 experimental_memory_speed_boost = Disable
 maximum_p_state_limit = 0xf

 Still i need to force the kernel to enable ECC.

 Hello everybody, i just setup an ASUS KGPE-D16 with coreboot in my
 fileserver today.

 CPU: Opteron 6380 with newest microcode loaded in coreboot

 1x 8GB Hynix DDR3 ECC

 1x 8GB Samsung DDR3 ECC

 ECC works after you force the linux kernel / the amd_edac module to
 enable ECC as you can see on this dmesg output :

 Is there an NVRAM Option for ECC and should i rebuild coreboot with
 nvram options enabled ?
