I've done a diff between 2.6.25 and 2.6.26 source code of the
i82975x_edac module. As you can see, there's not much difference:

Hmm, they're different. On another m/c, I've managed to find the logged
info when it booted up 2.6.26:

Thanks for the pointer. I've now installed edac-utils on the offending
motherboards. It seems that the motherboard is half known about:
# edac-ctl --mainboard
edac-ctl: mainboard: ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC P5W DH Deluxe
# edac-ctl --print-labels
No dimm labels for ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC P5W DH Deluxe

Unfortunately not. If there's any commands you'd like me to run, then
please let me know.
If you could let me know what I need to put in /etc/edac/labels.db, that
would be appreciated too.
