"processor.max_cstate=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 idle=poll" option did work for me. MCEs are caught in the kern.log but system didn't crash. Since idle=poll actually produces much more heat, I tried to disable speedstep and remove the idle=poll option. Seems stable as well. Notice that this time there are no more MCE records in kern.log at all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
