sudo apt-get install mcelog
but you have to enable the component called "universe" first. Somewhere I read that mcelog does not work with 32 bit Linux because of incompatibility with old cpu types.
Ah, thanks. I needed universe. I don't remember if Ubuntu liveCD was 64-bit or not. It was v9.10 stable for sure. So, is this 64-bit requirement for 64-bit hardware only or does kernel have to be 64-bit too? On my old Debian box, I use i686 (32-bit?) kernel and can use mcelog.

I wonder why KNOPPIX doesn't work? 32-bit?
