Hi folks!
It seems, that 2.4.5 is supposed to support K7 Machine Check Exception
in arch/i386/kernel/bluesmoke.c. However mcheck_init() is called from
init_intel() in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c only. Therefore it is never
invoked from init_amd() - so not enabled.
I tried following patch:

and my life had changed suddenly:

this Duron really supports both MCE & MCA, so I hope, that this patch is
correct. I'd like to ask brave/stupid overclockers to try this patch - it
would prove, whether MCE really works on AMD K7 :-)
