I can't seem to find the appropriate AMD document on their website - it would be nice to know if this is RAM or cache or something else that gave it. The error reported is: Jul 19 21:07:37 gallifrey kernel: MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable incident occurred on CPU 0. Jul 19 21:07:37 gallifrey kernel: Bank 2: 940040000000017a Thats from 2.5.75 on a dual Athlon MP on a Tyan 760MP motherboard. The machine has apparently been running fine for some time now - perhaps this is heat related due to the unusually warm weather over here, or perhaps it is the machine check polling picking up something that has been going dodgy for a while.
