Re: [HW PROBLEM] Intel I7 MCE. Erratum or not?

I'm not sure but is it make sense if SMI causes an error and dropped MCE
exception without clearing error record?

I wouldn't expect an SMI causing an internal cache machine check. That really
looks more like something that comes out of the initialization code. But
I haven't see it on any Nehalem system so far.

Also it might be really some problem with this particular CPU.
