enable CONFIG_X86_MCE in kernel-image linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64

2010-02-19 Thread Steffen Eichler 
Hi,

I would be very pleased if you could enable the kernel parameters
CONFIG_X86_MCE=y
CONFIG_X86_MCE_INTEL=y
CONFIG_X86_MCE_AMD=y
in the debian kernel image linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64?

If this parameters are enabled it would be possible for us to monitor
hardware errors via mcelog on our Dom0 Xen machines.


Kind regards,

Steffen Eichler

We generally do not make such changes in a stable release.

Do you know that this will work?  Won't the Xen hypervisor handle MCEs?

Ben.
