[opensuse] Odd kernel MCE errors - OpenSuse 11.4
Hello, I upgraded to the latest kernel for 11.4, from within Yast, and after rebooting I get these MCE kernel errors. Apr 26 16:29:40 fmt-itops kernel: [81228.339471] [Hardware Error]: No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type. Apr 26 16:29:40 fmt-itops kernel: [81228.339479] [Hardware Error]: Run the message through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode. <snip> The kernel running is; 2.6.37.6-0.11-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-12-19 23:39:38 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ...and the CPU type; CPU model name = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU - X5650 @ 2.67GHz What can I do to prevent these errors?

Get hardware that isn't faulty? Perhaps start by translating the error to see just what it is. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How lame...that answer is the epitome of 15 years of the only answer M$ users ever had and still do, and here you are beginning to use it with Linux. Way to bring linux down to the pathetic level M$ was, is and always will be.
Perhaps start by translating the error to see just what it is.
Maybe that's what he's doing here, ya think? -- Powered by Slackware 13.37 05:51:51 up 4 days, 13:16, 2 users, load average: 0.77, 0.83, 0.79 Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived. - Isaac Asimov Registered Linux user #214117 at http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

MCE = Machine Check Exception - Dave's suggestion is perfectly valid. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Err, since he needs to run mcelog like the message says, coming here before he's done it wastes everybody's time, as does your comment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I encountered this a few years ago after an upgrade. My memory is very fuzzy, so don't hold me to this: If you are just getting the errors for the first time, it might be the kernel. IIRC the kernel code has some explicit handling for certain boards known to be problematic with MCE, and there may have been some other peculiarities with this code. While IIRC the mcelog package can be removed, I think there may also be a kernel argument that disables checking ("nomce"). I'm not suggesting you just dismiss the error msgs; they could be valid so are worth following up on. What I did though was install a newer kernel and the errors immediately ceased. Since then they haven't reappeared with all the subsequent kernel upgrades. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
