Open chrysophylax opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Official package name: rasdaemon

License (must be an OSI approved Open Source license): GPL v2

Download URL of latest release: https://github.com/mchehab/rasdaemon/releases/tag/v0.8.3

Latest release date (must be recent): Mar 10 2025

Description: Availability and Serviceability) logging tool. It records memory errors, using the EDAC tracing events. EDAC is a Linux kernel subsystem with handles detection of ECC errors from memory controllers for most chipsets on i386 and x86_64 architectures. EDAC drivers for other architectures like arm also exists.

mcelog has no support for modern AMD families (and based on the recent commits, without Intel doing a lot of work, it would just languish obsolete). Kernel module edac_mce_amd module works for picking up error messages so why not rasdaemon to monitor?

Boot message is:

mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 25: mcelog does not support this processor.  Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.
