don´t start mcelog

[TMTYD]

Hi

I installed yesterday by apt install mcelog, which worked well, then device / dev / mcelog did not exist, this I have manually with mknod / dev / mcelog c 10 227 created, according to the website of mcelog.

So I also wanted to start mcelog with systemctl that appears:

`

systemctl status mcelog.service

1. Not all CPUs of Intel Goldmont micro architecture (Family 6 Model 92) are supported by mcelog;
2. Ubuntu repository is totally outdated: try to compile and check it by yourself:

cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/andikleen/mcelog.git
cd mcelog
make
if ./mcelog --is-cpu-supported; then echo "CPU is supported!"; else echo "No luck!"; fi
