Hi,
Thanks in advance for any
clarifications.

I was trying to analyze a few machine
checksum errors, and obtained a lot of valuable
information in the archive, including a
referrence to Dave Jones' tool, parsemce. Thanks !

The servers that we get these occasional
errors on, are mostly dual AMD boxes (MP 1800s,
typically) running 2.4.18. Are the decoding rules,
present in Intel's IA-32 MCA documentation, applicable

on these servers ? As detailed in Intel's
Software Developer's Manual, looks like it is not
mandatory for an IA-32 compliant system to follow the
decoding rules on all the fields in the machine status

registers (e.g the ones that indicate Uncorrectable
ECC errors)..

Appreciate any help regarding this.

-thanks,
Atish
