11 mce=bootlog Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting. 11 Disable machine check

13 If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though 13 Disable CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) that
14 to make sure you log even machine check events that result 14 Intel processor supports. Usually this disablement is
15 in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default. 15 not recommended, but it might be handy if your hardware
16 is misbehaving.
17 Note that you'll get more problems without CMCI than with
18 due to the shared banks, i.e. you might get duplicated
19 error logs.
20 mce=dont_log_ce
21 Don't make logs for corrected errors. All events reported
22 as corrected are silently cleared by OS.
23 This option will be useful if you have no interest in any
24 of corrected errors.
25 mce=ignore_ce
26 Disable features for corrected errors, e.g. polling timer
27 and CMCI. All events reported as corrected are not cleared
28 by OS and remained in its error banks.
29 Usually this disablement is not recommended, however if
30 there is an agent checking/clearing corrected errors
31 (e.g. BIOS or hardware monitoring applications), conflicting
32 with OS's error handling, and you cannot deactivate the agent,
33 then this option will be a help.
34 mce=bootlog
35 Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
36 Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus ones.
37 If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
38 to make sure you log even machine check events that result
39 in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
