This is yet another symptom of running old firmware. To avoid this, turn of
"Enable IA-64 Machine Check Abort" under General Setup in your config.
In short, the older firmware releases contain MCA support that is either
broken or nonexistent. In this case the firmware is falsely reporting
corrected platform errors to the OS, in an endless stream that debilitates
the OS if OS MCA reporting is enabled.

I'm getting an infinite stream of "ia64_log_get: Failed to retrieve
SAL error record type 3", rendering the machine useless.
