Public bug reported: Current 64 bit MCE reporting code hardcodes bank limitation as 6 and this is not an issue for processors with <=6 MCE banks. But for latest processors with more than 6 MCE banks, additional MCE banks available in processor hardware cannot be enabled to record hardware error information which is extremely helpful for diagnostics.
For those who do not know what MCA & MCE are, here is some useful information: 1. http://one.firstfloor.org/~andi/mce.pdf 2. kernel-source-dir/Documentation/x86_64/machinecheck ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- MCA Bank #6 for Intel Dunnington processor cannot be enabled in x86-64 kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
