Hey, folks,
I've just started seeing
Apr 12 13:09:59 <server> kernel: [Hardware Error]:
MC4_STATUS[Over|CE|MiscV|-|AddrV|-|Poison|CECC]: 0xdd0accf2001d011b
Apr 12 13:09:59 <server> kernel: [Hardware Error]: Northbridge Error (node
1, core 1): ECC error in L3 cache tag.
Apr 12 13:09:59 <server> kernel: [Hardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN,
tx: GEN, mem-tx: RD
Apr 12 13:09:59 <server> kernel: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events
logged
I'm guessing, unhappily, that this means the on-chip cache, not DIMM. Does
anyone here know?
mark, who'll be the one to call it in under warranty....

The fact that the error happened on cache tag, not cache data further implicates the CPU. The message is quite specific and I'd say rather trustworthy... But there's also the possibility that the message is wrong (either something else went wrong or nothing really went wrong). In my experience hardware fault error messages are quite unreliable and at the end of the day DIMMs are magnitudes more likely to fail than CPUs... /Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
