[opensuse] System errors on clean install of 11.4
Greetings, I installed openSuse 11.4 yesterday, and am getting system error messages (/var/log/messages) as follows. The 4 Hardware Error messages are repeating every few minutes.

I also have an amd athlon cpu, upgrade to 11.4 from 11.3 started getting a lot of "No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type", stuff I found on the web said to try using the nomce option at boot, I could find nothing that indicates what this does / does not do, at least not in laymen terms anyhow. Seems this No human ... error is an issue with amd cpu's with version kernel that ships with 11.4, that's based on what I found. Suse 11.4 on my amd athlon desktop is a 100% disaster, the system is a total mess. As I type this I am reinstalling 11.3.

Thanks Tony, I rebooted and put "nomce" in the boot options and these hardware errors stop (the other errors were related to a CD in the drive, see other post). Great tip. Not at all sure what this does though. I wonder if this is analogous to disconnecting my oil pressure gauge in my car? In any case I'll read up more on MCE and most likely make a permanent entry to my grub. Also not sure why this error occurs in 11.4, as it didn't on 11.2 and 11.3, exact same hardware. I'd agree this seems like its a kernel thing and not an openSuse thing. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The mcelog service is started by an init script, it can be disabled in YaST/System Services, which may be a bit cleaner than a kernel argument. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Jim F Ok so I was stubborn and wanted to get 11.4 working on my desktop. I am happy to say it's stable for now, can reboot, boot up and use it with no crashes, and I've not had to use the nomce option.
In the digging I did on the internet, several posts I read said the mce error message seems to be an issue with 2.6.37 kernel and I think I found a post some where, saying this might be fixed or something was changed on mce in kernel 3.6.38, so I figured I try updating kernel. I found a 3.6.38-rc7-19 kernel here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.4, installed it. I'm assuming it's release candidate 7, and not sure what effects might be from using this kernel. But I have a usable system for now. One more thing the mce error kept showing up with the desktop kernel, I'm using the default kernel, and all seems good for now.

Ok so I lied the mce errors are still there even with default kernel but just not as often, but the system is stable and usable Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And if you disable the service from starting (in YaST)? . . . I haven't researched this extensively, but suspect there may be issues with some AMD processors (like my Phenom II X2) - AFAIK nothing to be concerned about, though. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Disabling mce is ok, my bigger problem was the stabiliy issues, the system would lock everytime shortly after an mce message, even with the nomce, it would lock up, no error messages anywhere.

Thanks Markus, that was the problem. Great tip. I had the non-oss CD in one drive, and the openSuse DVD in the other. It was the CD. Not sure why this happened on this machine though, the same CD did not show errors on another 11.4 install (different box). Perhaps the CD drive is getting old? In any case problem solved.
