I have an old 32-bit Debian with Kernel 2.6.32 and could use mcelog in it. -- "Caution is not cowardice; even the ants march armed." --Ugandan Proverb /\___/\ Phil./Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ / If crediting, then use Ant nickname and AQFL URL/link.

I found out that I need to enable its universe and then I was able to find and install mcelog package. Now, I need to figure out why it tells me "mcelog: warning: record length longer than expected.

I have an old 32-bit Debian with Kernel 2.6.32 and could use > mcelog in it. You got me. Which version of Debian? You said it was old. I have Debian Etch (32-bit) installed on an old notebook (Thinkpad 240X), and mcelog is listed by Synaptic, but for 64-bit only. No 32-bit version. Perhaps your system is an exception. All my searches resulted in mcelog being for 64-bit kernels only. It's on my 64-bit system (Fedora 12). I have 32-bit CentOS and Scientific Linux both testing in VMs, and they don't have it in their respective 32- bit yum repositories. Stef |
