Subject: [Linux-ia64] [RFC] Remove MCA dump?
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 11:51:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590701905964@msgid-missing> (raw)

The MCA handler is completely useless.  If I crash the machine and
forget to clear the MCA dump in firmware, at the next boot Linux dumps
the registers (in a hard-to-understand style) and hangs.  In its current
state, I'd rather it simply weren't in the kernel at all.

Do any platforms not have MCA handling facilities in firmware?
