12.2 would get the fix from the 3.4 stable kernel branch for free. Let's close this one then. It's not worth looking at 12.1 as this is a server feature and the issue is very platform/BIOS dependent.
Typically people who need APEI/RAS features would buy a SLE together with their server to be sure the code paths are actually supported and tested with the kernel and work when an error condition really happens. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
