From 6b10ace1ca7a0eef39c7ff65469057f6a8d41339 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arie Middelkoop Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:20:59 +0000 Subject: mcelog: a tool to access the machine check exceptions logged by the kernel. The kernel indicated that machine check exceptions were logged, but did not tell what kind of exceptions. In my case, this is usually the processor being throttled because it gets too hot (laptop...), but it may also be more severe problems. Anyway, with this tool you can access these logs. svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=32547 --- pkgs/os-specific/linux/mcelog/default.nix | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+) create mode 100644 pkgs/os-specific/linux/mcelog/default.nix (limited to 'pkgs/os-specific/linux/mcelog/default.nix') diff --git a/pkgs/os-specific/linux/mcelog/default.nix b/pkgs/os-specific/linux/mcelog/default.nix new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..82c502ede72 --- /dev/null +++ b/pkgs/os-specific/linux/mcelog/default.nix @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +{ stdenv, fetchgit }: + +# Shows the machine check exceptions logged by the kernel. +# E.g. a log is generated when intel processors cpu-throttle. + +# The releases of this package are no longer on kernel.org +# hence we fetch them from github.
