Hi List, I'm having some trouble with my Opteron Box, I runs fine for some days and then dies :-( I get the following message: aoc2pc75 kernel: Northbridge Machine Check Exception f61b200100000813 0 Kernel is 2.4.19 as shipped with SuSE 8.2 x86_64. I'm using a MSI K8D Master board with two Opteron 240 Processors, 6 GB RAM, 1 IDE and 3 SCSI Disks, SCSI controller is a Symbios Logic 53c895. Any hints?

Hate to say it - possibly a mainboard/memory instability rather than a kernel based upon the success everyone else is seeing.

aoc2pc75 kernel: Northbridge Machine Check Exception f61b200100000813 0
Is this the whole message?
Kernel is 2.4.19 as shipped with SuSE 8.2 x86_64.
Ok, that one has a fixed machine check exception handling and if you get one, it indicates a hardware problem in general.

Yes, that's all I can see because the machine freezes and I have to reset it. But there is some kind of information in /var/log/messages: Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: Northbridge status a40000000005001b Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: GART TLB error generic level generic Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: extended error gart error Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: link number 0 Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: error address valid Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: error uncorrected Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: previous error lost Jul 28 15:08:10 aoc2pc75 kernel: error address 0000000009470de8 This message appears every 90 seconds.

Sounds bad ... I'll try a newer kernel and turn machine check exception off, maybe it runs stable then.

The messages are merely an event log of the error of the hardware (MSI), not of the kernel.
