Is there really something broken here of just a noisy driver?

BTW this is on a Asus NCT-D mobo with Intel E7525 chipset.

Hi Jurgen,

I haven't seen this particular error before, and I can't say for sure
whether it's a genuine problem that should be dealt with or just a
minor annoyance that can be safely ignored.  EDAC is a relatively new
piece of code, and still very much a work in progress.  If this is in
fact a benign type of error, EDAC should provide a mechanism by which
a sysadmin can silence it.  This is an area of future work.

I'm forwarding your message to the bluesmoke mailing list just in
case anyone who reads that list has seen instances of this error in
the past and can provide more info on it.

Hi Dave,

So far the system is running just fine. For reference, so far I found 92
"Non-Fatal Error PCI Express B" messages since the system was booted 8
hours ago.

BTW Dave Jones reported similar problems on the LKML: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/26/381

Cheers,

Jurgen


Do you have the sysbus message patch in the e752x driver? I've seen this before on certain Intel ATCA boards, but it's actually the system bus complaining and not the PCIe but the code is referencing the wrong print out messages. If you do then it's probably PCIe.
