Bug Description

Binary package hint: mcelog

The kernels for Ubuntu 9.04 do not have the option CONFIG_X86_MCE turned on. This prevents getting reports of memory errors on the system. I am currently running 2.6.28-16-generic and it is not enabled.

This is of critical importance, especially for server systems.

Please add this option in the next kernel update.

Thanks,
Rick
