To explain why: on 64 bit athlons the ECC error reporting is done by MCE events and because of that, k8_edac and amd64_edac need to have access to MCE registers but the developers never managed to convince the mcelog maintainer to share those registers. it's a long (ongoing) story. -- Aristeu _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
