mcelog-error in mail from hourly cron job using Unbreakable Kernel
2919781Oct 20 2010 — edited Mar 23 2011After installing OEL 5.5 + Unbreakable Kernel, I get the following error message sent from the hourly cron:
/etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron:

A similar bug report was filed against some Fedora-version last year, with updates through this year. This might be relevant and/or helpful, or not: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507026
