[Bug 999946] Re: Kernel outputs lots of warning of the form [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Failed to read error status block address for hardware error source: 10.

 

agenkin, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this.

** Description changed:

  On a Supermicro X7SB4 based system the kernel outputs a host of error
  messages of the form:

  This happens with 32-bit kernels (both -pae and non-pae). This may or

  the hardware is not Dell PowerEdge).

  WORKAROUND: Use kernel parameter:
  ghes.disable=1
