** Description changed:
I'm running a virtual Windows SBS 2003 installation on a Xeon E3 Haswell
system running Gentoo Linux. First, I used Qemu 1.5.3 (the latest stable
version on Gentoo). I got a lot of machine check events ("mce: [Hardware
Error]: Machine check events logged") in dmesg that always looked like
(using mcelog):
Hardware event. This is not a software error.

I found this discussion on the vmware community:
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/452344
It seems that this is (at least partly) caused by the Qemu machine. I
switched to Qemu 1.7.0, the first version to use "pc-i440fx-1.7". With
this version, the errors almost disappeared, but from time to time, I
still get machine check events. Anyways, they so not seem to affect
neither the vm, nor the host.
I created the virtual machine on an older Core 2 Duo machine and ran it
for several weeks without a single error message, so I think this is
actually some problem with the Haswell architecture. The errors didn't
show up until I copied the virtual machine to my new machine.
