My 3b1 has been suffering from an intermittent parity error ever since
I added a 1.5Meg combo card (2Meg on the motherboard).  I finally was
able to record some of the errors in unix.log (normally the system just
crashed).  Could some kind soul tell me *exactly* which chip(s) are
involved?  I wouldn't object to an explanation on how to read the
address (what does *hpte mean?) given in the error message, nor an
explanation on how the chips correspond to memory addresses.  I know
this was posted a while back, but I never thought *my machine* would
need it.

My eternal gratitude.

Herewith, the error messages:
