I've been attempting to verify that mcelog is working on my 10.04 LTS system. (After coming across this issue, I wanted to double check that MCE events would actually be logged.) The mcelog website points to a tool called "mce-inject" that will simulate a failure to allow for testing like this. However, each time I attempt to run this tool, I get the following error:

Injecting mce on /dev/mcelog: Invalid argument

Nothing was logged by mcelog, and I'm not sure if this is an issue with the test or with some mce kernel component. It certainly seems like there is a problem somewhere in the stack.

I'm using mce-inject-0.1
