From dc5b9893d10ba7132098e7ad991103430227724b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:15:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] amd64_edac: Do not falsely trigger kerneloops commit cab4d27764d5a8654212b3e96eb0ae793aec5b94 upstream. An unfortunate "WARNING" in the message amd64_edac dumps when the system doesn't support DRAM ECC or ECC checking is not enabled in the BIOS used to trigger kerneloops which qualified the message as an OOPS thus misleading the users. See, e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/422536 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15238 Downgrade the message level to KERN_NOTICE and fix the formulation.
