Hello.

I am trying to diagnose my old Debian (Kernels v2.6.30 and v2.6.32) that is having random and rare kernel panics and a lot of hardware errors with my Athlon 64 X2 CPU (you can see mcelogs in http://pastie.org/867602 for the whole filtered logs). I want to reproduce it outside of my Debian with KNOPPIX v6.2.1 CD, but cannot seem to reproduce this in KNOPPIX v6.2.1 CD. Same for memtest86+ v4.00 on a 3.5" boot disk. I need to confirm that this is really a hardware problem or a false alarm in my old Debian (had it installed since 9/24/2004 and kept it updated for many years).

However, KNOPPIX tells me it cannot open /dev/mcelog after installing mcelog via apt-get command. Am I missing something? I didn't see anything machine errors in regular dmesg overnight (only a few hours).

Thank you in advance.
