Re: Handling daemons that fail to start

Which CPUs mcelog supports, and where is it documented? Upstream
README seems to imply that it should be able to run everywhere: “It is
recommended that mcelog runs on all x86 machines, both 64bit (since
early 2.6) and 32bit (since 2.6.32)”.
According to is_cpu_supported() it supports either GenuineIntel or
(AuthenticAMD && family == 15).
So it should work here, but it doesn't:
$ grep -m2 -E '^vendor|family' /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
$ sudo apt-get install -qq mcelog
