I had recently memory problems on my Mac Pro (early 2008), and I had to
replace some 4GB DIMM's to recover my original 24 GB RAM. This Ram
consists now of 4 slots with 2GB ( risers A & B) and 4 with 4GB ( also
half on A , half on B). The makers are Crucial (2x4 GB) and "elixir" for
the rest. Of course I ran memtest ( in single user mode ) after each
memory change ( there were several). Now ,every time, memtest log said :
"Attempted memory lock... ERROR Memory lock failed - reason unknown
WARNING : Testing with unlocked memory may be slower and less reliable"
The 3 test sequence was every time successful, and the computer behaves
normally.
Anyway I'm baffled : why is my memory not "lockable" ?
Has this something to see with the placement of the memory sticks on the
risers ?
Thanks for any hint, although that doesn't prevent me to sleep.
