[gentoo-user] Is this a memory thing?

2005-10-09 Thread Dave Nebinger
Just scanning my logs and found the following entry:

Oct  9 07:44:08 butthead MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable 
incident occurred on CPU 0.
Oct  9 07:44:08 butthead Bank 2: 9400417a

I'm assuming since it says 'bank 2' it's referring to a problem with one of 
the ram slots...

Can anyone confirm my assumption?

I believe that you have selected in your kernel config to report all amd
cpu errors. I had quite a few of those with an AMD Athlon 1.4G system.
Never had a problem other than the log entry. I've since excluded that
entry, the log warnings no longer appear. That system has been up for
more than a year (other than reboot for kernel upgrades) and has never
locked up nor lost data.
