I doubt there is any hope for recovery if not all processors show up ... things have to be already very broken for the machine check to be blocked. > Or is the box so hammered that there's no turning back?

I'm OK with it going - but as I said before I'd like to see mce_callin printed (so I can tell if just one cpu showed up, just the cpus from one socket, or some other significant number). -Tony
