+How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ?
+#########################################################
+
+There are three possibilities I know of:
+
+1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules
+
+2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory
+   if you have spare-parts
+
+3) Use BadRAM or memmap
+
+This Howto is about number 3) .
+
+
+BadRAM
+######
+BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch
+here:  http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/
+
+For more details see the BadRAM documentation.
+
+memmap
+######
+
+memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at
+boot-time.  Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to
+calculate the values by yourself!
+
+Syntax to exclude a memory area (see kernel-parameters.txt for details):
+memmap=<size>$<address>
+
+Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and
+         some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of
+         0x18690000,0xffff0000.
+
+With the numbers of the example above:
+memmap=64K$0x18690000
+ or
+memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
+
