New Revision: 32547
URL: https://nixos.org/websvn/nix/?rev=32547&sc=1
Log:
mcelog: a tool to access the machine check exceptions logged by the kernel.
The kernel indicated that machine check exceptions were logged, but did not
tell what kind of exceptions.
In my case, this is usually the processor being throttled because it gets too
hot (laptop...), but it
may also be more severe problems. Anyway, with this tool you can access these
logs.
