Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-31 14:58:04 UTC 
The problem is we do not have mcelog policy in RHEL5.  Not sure if mcelog is supposed to be run on an MLS box though.
Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-11-10 13:01:31 UTC 
I think I could add it to make this working. We have it also in Fedora/RHEL6
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-10 13:12:58 UTC

These are specific for RHEL5 which we need to add.
