Slackware-13.37 running on an (old) Athlon XP w/1 Gig & pci - still 32 bits. The cpu is old, as this is it's second m/b.
Now it's spouting MCE errors. I only get this stuff on STDOUT (and it has a peculiar choice of STDOUT at that). I transcribe:

genius kernel: [Hardware Error]: Run the message (What message??) through mcelog --ascii to decode.

mcelog --ascii seems to be some daemon. As mce errors are new on this box, there is an eyebrow raised at this. Is the cpu falling away? Could it be related to the cpu being marginally overclocked? I'll sort that forthwith.
Behaviour seems unaffected.
There is a habit of going out to lunch on network access because too many of us are hibernating things and getting assigned the same ip by the router, but that just means a network restart. That could mask something else, but the box seems ok. Oh, the fan sounds lika a skeleton in a (metal) dustbin for a while on startup, but these are not mce errors.
Where does mcelog report to anyhow??
