Hi Albert,

Memory: ECC Mem in all banks, status:

[root@delphi1 log]# cat /proc/ram
Chipset ECC capability : ECC detection and correction
Current ECC mode : ECC detection and correction
Bank    Size    Type    ECC     SBE     MBE
0       128M    SDR     Y       0       0
1       128M    SDR     Y       0       0
2       128M    SDR     Y       0       0
3       128M    SDR     Y       0       0
Total   512M

So memory problems seem to be out. (kernel did not panic on machine check
exception, so machine is still up after reported exception)

Temperature / power:

[root@delphi1 log]# sensors

Adapter: ISA adapter
Algorithm: ISA algorithm
VCore 1:   +1.60 V  (min =  +1.56 V, max =  +1.72 V)

Looks OK as well, no peaks / anomalys reported for the time of the error as
well. System is running with 1 case fan, 1 fan for the hd's and one for the
power supply.

Leaves faulty CPU or motherboard; I've got 4 identical systems, this is the
first strange message reported so far on any of them.

Just finished 30 minutes of compiling the kernel w/o further problems; let's
see what it says tomorrow morning.

Doesn't look like anything got hurt; restore of last backup + transaction
logs on the backup server gives identical full database export as live
database.

Guess I'll have to take that as a possible explanation, there sure doesn't
seem to be anything else fishy going on.

Thanks for the info on meaning of the exception.

Bye, Martin
