This is a bit difficult to test. AFAIK the 2.6.31 kernel does not have mce-inject functionality. If you get an MCE here and there, please report, whether things work as expected now. If not, a possibility would be to install a SLE11-SP1 or master/factory kernel and get the mce-inject package from factory and generate a MCE. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I close this invalid, because the latest kernel is only provided for debugging/testing reasons, you should not use it for production. If you need a newer kernel, update or best install a fresh 11.3. Also did you ever have a look at /var/log/mcelog? If you really have real MCEs constantly you may have a HW defect. Generally mcelog is more a feature for bigger servers with a lot of CPU cores, cache and memory where it's more likely and more sever if corruption/malfunction because of HW happens. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will not argue the point of using KOD, but "Looks like the structure exported to userspace changed again..." would appear to be reason enough to look at the mcelog app. tks, -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
