From: Ant on 25 Apr 2010 09:20 Hello. Are there any Linux liveCDs that have mcelog enabled? I tried KNOPPIX v6.2.1 and Ubuntu v9.1.0 liveCDs, but they did not have them. In KNOPPIX, I tried to apt-get install, but it didn't run since it cannot open /dev/mcelog. In Ubuntu, mcelog package doesn't exist. Thank you in advance. :) -- "We ants are runnin' the show!

It should be run regularly as a cron job on any x86-64 Linux system (if it is not in the default packages on your x86-64 distribution, please complain to your distributor). It can also decode machine check panic messages from console logs." Useful to decode those plain hardware errors (e.g., machine codes) in dmesg, /var/log/messages, etc. -- "I could crush him like an ant. But it would be too easy.
