mcelog error

[Lopez, Denise]

Dear Matthew,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I just checked and I do have a kernel update that needs to be applied and rebooted.

I will try this tomorrow.
Sounds like that should resolve the issue.

That actually sounds like data structures for the mce record have
changed size (increased) and the userspace mcelog daemon doesn't know
about the extra info. Did you upgrade your kernel?
