Hello,
I get the following message under 2.2.19:

It boots and runs for quite a while (weeks), then suddenly freezes and shows this message.
It does not happen often, but very rarely.
Has the number any meaning, or is it a goof?

Stephan

Hi,
I had the same error sometimes, during heavy load (compiling). I replaced a memory module by another and it didn't crash anymore, until now at least ;)

Typically a hardware problem. Some older systems generate them spuriously though, which is why we have a "nomce" boot option.

My system here is a P3 800 Coppermine with Infineon RAM. After removing that module it didn't occur. Linux 2.4.17.

This number alone doesn't really tell anything. There should be an extra line in the log / on the console, which contains two more 64bit numbers. Putting these into
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/cruft/parsemce.c will decode them and give you more idea hopefully over whats wrong. (I really should make that tool a little friendlier ..
I'll do it soon)
