From 9c5f8be4625e73f17e28fea89399ed871a30e064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 02:14:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86: Mention PCI instead of RAM in NMI parity error message On modern systems RAM errors don't cause NMIs, but it's usually caused by PCI SERR. Mention PCI instead of RAM in the printk.
