Subject: [PATCH] bluesmoke/MCE support optional
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 10:01:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C7E465A.4B3F4D9@yahoo.com> (raw)


Meant to do this a while ago.  Could do it via adding "nosmoke.c"  :-)
(similar to fs/noquot.c) instead of #ifdef in bluesmoke.c, if somebody
had a strong preference one way or the other.

Patch is against 2.4.18, complete with Aunt Tillie(tm) help text, etc.

Paul.

+Machine Check Exception
+CONFIG_X86_MCE
+  Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
+  kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
+  The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem, 
+  ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
+  Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the 
+  flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce.  Note that some older Pentium systems
+  have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - for these and
+  old non-MCE processors (386, 486), say N.  Otherwise say Y.
