Subject: bad memory patch
Got bad RAM, here is a link for something this guy did.

Apparently, you make a floppy with the supplied image, boot with it to
find the bad RAM addresses, and then those addresses are passed on as a
kernel parameter once the patch is applied. Bad addresses will be excluded
from addressable/virtual memory from then on.

Pretty cool.
