kernel: MCA: CPU 0 COR (1) internal parity error

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I'm running since some days a recent -HEAD r276659 on an Acer C720
Chromebook which works very nicely and fast (I really have never seen
such a fast KDE4 desktop).

>From time to time (let's say 2-3 times a day) I see messages like this
in /var/log/messages:

Jan 16 12:04:24 c720-r276659 kernel: MCA: Bank 0, Status 0x90000040000f0005

Jan 16 12:04:24 c720-r276659 kernel: MCA: CPU 0 COR (1) internal parity error

the kernel is:

# uname -a

guru at vm-poudriere-r269739:/usr/local/acerC720/obj/usr/local/acerC720/src/sys/GENERIC i386

i.e. the i386 version (because I compile everything in a VM)

Are the above messages really a hardware problem?

Thanks
