Ehh, a little problem here. :(

It does apply and compile on top of pre2, but uname -r will say different.

I just changed the Makefile here, note my signature (uname -a)

I was wondering about the new Machine Check Exception Option added with
this patch. where can I get info(if there is any) on using it, re the boot option to use the Mb's it supports and any userland stuff if any.

I believe any pII or newer MB should support it, and you need to tell your
log checker to look for the new output from the kernel...

what about the boot option, and what do i tell the logchecker to look
for? There must be documentation somewhere about this? all i find in a
google search is stuff from list archives and cant seem to find much
about using it. Maybe need to dig deeper or something *shrug*

Just say yes, its a stupid idea making it an option and there is basically
no reason to ever say no.
