Run through mcelog --ascii to decode and contact your hardware vendor Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine check Of course I ran mcelog but I don't quite understand how the additional info helps me finding the problem. Is this a problem with RAM? And if, which one? The box is a dual opteron with two banks of mem (4 sockets each), each socket holding a 1 GB mem module.
