I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 in place from update manager on AMD Athlon64 3200+ 2000 MHz 1024K cache. Apparently the ECC issue is kernel 2.6.31 specific having to do with "EDAC amd64_edac: Ver: 3.2.0 Oct 16 2009". It does not happen if I boot alternate kernel 2.6.28-16 (ECC not even mentioned in that). Nothing in my BIOS or CMOS settings even mentions ECC.
