hi all, i'm working on freebsd 2.2.1 on pentium II pcs, and noticed that machine check is not enabled by the kernel. i checked 3.0 current and found the same thing. my questions are: - are there any benefits in enabling machine check? - the intel manuals seem to imply that the processor can't recover from a machine check exception. the current trap handler (trap.c) call trap_fatal if it encounters a machine check exception. besides logging the error events, is it reasonable to attempt a recovery? thanks! wee teck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
