docs: Get rid of the badRAM guide
The last release of this tool was for 2.6.28; it's hard to see how it has any relevance to current kernels. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ?

There are three possibilities I know of:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules
|
||||
|
||||
2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory
|
||||
if you have spare-parts
|
||||
|
||||
3) Use BadRAM or memmap
|
||||
|
||||
This Howto is about number 3) .

BadRAM
|
||||
######
|
||||
|
||||
BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch
|
||||
here: http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/
|
||||
|
||||
For more details see the BadRAM documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
memmap
|
||||
######
|
||||
|
||||
memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at
|
||||
boot-time. Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to
|
||||
calculate the values by yourself!
|
||||
|
||||
Syntax to exclude a memory area (see admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for details)::
|
||||
|
||||
memmap=<size>$<address>
|
||||
|
||||
Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and
|
||||
some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of
|
||||
0x18690000,0xffff0000.
|
||||
|
||||
With the numbers of the example above::
|
||||
|
||||
memmap=64K$0x18690000
|
||||
|
||||
or::
|
||||
|
||||
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
