Comment 1 Prarit Bhargava 2010-08-24 09:51:21 EDT

Hi -- which kernel version are you using?  AFAICT, RHEL5.5's kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 *works* with RHEL5.5's mcelog-0.9pre-1.29.el5.

You're not using a standard RHEL kernel?

They're not using a RHEL kernel.  Red Hat does not support this configuration.
