Hi all,

So, last night I randomly decided to run the built-in memtest86 on my G1G1 OLPC XO-1.

Was fine, until it hit a certain spot (block? byte? sector?) in the RAM where it was getting an error no matter what the test.  

Here's a photo I took of memtest86:



So... am I basically out of luck?  Since the memory is soldered on the motherboard, I can't just "swap in a new one".    Perhaps there's some way I can tell the OS to not use that particular byte of RAM, or something?
