It's maintainer wanted right now, so the only way to get the updated software is ~arch. This will give you /var/log/mcelog ... atm I'm on meds and can't remember the specifics to set it up ... "man mcelog" will help. You can "dmesg | grep -i mce" now and see if there are any MCE errors. -- Happy Penguin Gymnastics >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ admin@happypenguingymnastics.com 662-321-7009 http://happypenguingymnastics.com/ FB: http://tiny.cc/HappyPenguinGymnastics Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
