Find which memory slot is buggy



Hi everyone,

After some strange bugs on one of our linux servers, I checked its memory with memtest86, which detected some errors. The memory is an ECC one.
Do one knows any tool under linux to determine which slot is buggy, without having to test each slot separately ?
