+ memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
+ Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
+ memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
+ Setting this option will scan the memory
+ looking for corruption. Enabling this will
+ both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
+ from using the memory being corrupted.
+ However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
+ repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
+ affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
+ to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
+
+ memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
+ By default it checks for corruption in the low
+ 64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
+ use. Use this parameter to scan for
+ corruption in more or less memory.
+
+ memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
+ By default it checks for corruption every 60
+ seconds. Use this parameter to check at some
+ other rate. 0 disables periodic checking.
