Help understand kernel in lockdown error


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I just did a server reboot and got this in the log:

 

mcelog: Kernel in lockdown. Cannot enable DIMM error location reporting

 

Can someone explain this and if it is a concern?  I can't say that it hasn't always been there as I just noticed it now after installing new DIMMs.

 

Thanks for your time!

@JorgeB  Thanks for the response. That's good to know, but what are the ramifications of it? Is it telling me if there's an error in RAM it won't be able to tell me which stick had the issue?  If so, is there a way to change that, or it is what it is?
