Re: 2.5.46 / Asus A7M266 - spontaneous reboots - CAUSE FOUND

[Peter Horton <pdh@berserk.demon.co.uk>]

If I boot with "nomce" the spontaneous reboots go away. This is odd as
the 2.4.19 kernel I run has MCE enabled.

The system is not overclocked, the CPU fan is spinning, and the box is
rock solid with 2.4.19 (compiler is 2.95.4 [Debian]).

Anyone else have problems with MCE?
