My server Dobby reported this earlier today - do any of you know what it can be? It is running 2.6.0-test10; has been up 7 days now ...
Ok, it is non fatal, but disturbing ... _________________ Always make it as simple as possible, but no simpler

Well, it is winter. CPU must just have a little bit of a cough. I wouldn't worry about it. It's just telling you that something was wrong but it was taken care of. _________________ http://ckdake.com/ |

Could be any number of things. Basically it found a bad bit of data and it corrected it. At worse your CPU is going but probably not. Are you overclocking? if not maybe the CPU was just working hard and got a little too hot or something like that that could cause the internal memory to fail a parity check. Be worried only if it happens alot. |

I'm guessing your running an Athlon? There is a known problem with the 2.6.0-test kernels producing these "errors" on athlon kernels. There really isn't anything wrong, the kernel just seems to be doing something weird. Some discussion here (http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/11/2/2). |

Thx for the URL, and the soothing words from all of you . _________________ Always make it as simple as possible, but no simpler
