Is use of app-admin/mcelog still considered best practice on Intel hardware or has it been displaced by better options? —JGaz (talk) 16:08, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Something flagged on IRC

Talk status
This discussion is still ongoing.

A user ("gk") came along on IRC today to flag something they saw as an issue on this article. I don't have time to look into it today, but here is the log in case it makes sense to anyone active on these pages:

ECC_RAM was moved from ECC since "it was specific to that"
but it talks (first place) about CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC*
and I strongly believe it has nothing to do with RAM, is needed only for some embedded and it's software error correction
page even suggests: "Make sure CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC, CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_SW_HAMMING are enabled at the very least."
rest is more or less OK (about CONFIG_EDAC)
one minor thing is that I believe most people won't ever need CONFIG_EDAC_XILINX_DDR but I may be wrong
