Hello, after the Migration from my “SLES for VMWare SP2” to SP3 i’m observe following entries in my /var/log/mcelog: `mcelog: Failed to set imc_log on cpu 0 : Connection refused mcelog: Failed to set imc_log on cpu 0 : Connection refused mcelog: Failed to set imc_log on cpu 0 : Connection refused` Does anybody have the same issues and know the source of the problem?! Thanks! ---

Also you said “Migration” so can I just check whether you meant that you have migrated from SLES (11) SP2 for VMware to “regular” SLES 11 SP3 (i.e. not for VMware) or actually just updated/upgraded SLES (11) SP2 for VMware to SLES (11) SP3 for VMware? There would seem to be a possible issue with mcelog in SLES11 SP3 as I’ve found a similar report relating to “regular” SLES11 SP3 virtualised on Microsoft Hyper-V. In the meantime I’ll ask my contacts at SUSE.

Hello Simon, thank you for your reply and sorry for my unclear discription! I have upgraded from “SLES (11) SP2 for VMware” to “SLES (11) SP3 for VMware”. I’ve also found your report with Dr. Google before, but there is no answer/solution until now and therefore i have opened this thread here in the suse-forum. Thank you for your assistence. ---

I have two patches, but the guy who reported the issue is on holidays and I need someone who can give it a test. I have put a package to test here: /mirror/SuSE/ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/mcelog-1.0.2013.01.18-0.x86\_64.rpm On positive feedback, I can push them. Thanks. ---
