Hi, all. I have this node of dual core Xeon 3.2 GHz, 4 Gig of RAM and
kernel 2.16.18 on CentOS 4.3. I got kernel panic and after setting up
kdump/kexec I was able to capture the kdump core.
I found out this message with crash to analyze the core dump:

HARDWARE ERROR
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 3: 0000000000000000
TSC 0
This is not a software problem!
Run through mcelog --ascii to decode and contact your hardware vendor

You missed the blatantly obvious error message:
"This is not a software problem!"

Immediately followed by:
"contact your hardware vendor"

Please follow that advice
