Since my 8 fedora 11 hosts did their March 20 update of mcelog I have been getting hourly e-mails from cron on each host with the text :
/etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron:
mcelog: warning: 18446744073709551600 bytes ignored in each record mcelog: consider an update
This bug contains the exact test of the warning :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501512
I get the same warning text if I just run mcelog in a terminal.
Each host has two Intel Xeon X5550 CPUs
The kernel is tainted :
