Abstract
A PPR memory location reporting system includes BIOS coupled to a non-volatile memory system and a volatile memory system. During boot operations, the BIOS identifies a memory location identifier in the non-volatile memory system for a memory location that is included in the volatile memory system and that is associated with PPR, performs PPR operations on the memory location, and determines that the PPR operations on the memory location have failed. In response to determining that the PPR operations on the memory location have failed, the BIOS stores the memory location identifier in a boot error report table that is configured for use by an operating system to prevent use of the memory location by the operating system, and reserves the memory location identifier in a memory map that is configured for use by the operating system to prevent use of the memory location by the operating system.
