Unable to init MCE device

[FireMage]

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with a newly created R82. It runs under VMware 7.0.3.

I am irregularly getting the error:

“Unable to init MCE device (rc: -5)”

Then the cp reboots. in log: dmesg | grep -i mce
there is no entry to be found.

a: “lsmod | grep mce” shows no module. “modprobe mce” also remains empty.

i have now found the hint to add the following to the vm (.vmx):

monitor_control.disable_mce = “TRUE”

is that plausible? what do you think?

thanks
jeff

As a baseline are you using a Redhat 8 VM type per sk104848 or something else?
