So I'd like to ask if MCEs (like ECC-related messages from, say Supermicro boards) are being already processed by the kernel. Are there any (plans for) tools to handle and process these messages in userland? The amount of memory and memory modules keeps increasing, so MCE logging for non A-brand hardware (these trigger LEDs and/or tools from firmware) appears to gain increasing importance, too. I'd be grateful for hints, URLs, tips etc. If sent as private mails, I'll post a summary back to the list. TIA, Volker -- Volker T. Mueller Continum AG Bismarckallee 7d 79098 Freiburg i. Br.
