Hmm, I see, thanks. Nothing the kernel could do to catch that, I
suppose? (Scary that simply putting a regular audio CD into the drive
can crash the kernel.)

and send me the output of both commands. Btw, rdmsr should be in a
package called msr-tools, at least on Debian.
Thanks.

Hi Borislav!
First, thanks for helping!

Ok, this is a BIOS bug - we have a recommendation about what the BIOS
should do but yours doesn't do it. Are you sure you're using the latest
BIOS for your motherboard?
Can you check for updates and if you get a newer version, can you update
your BIOS and do the two commands above?
If there's no newer BIOS, we can try applying the workaround at boot in
an init script to fix your issue.

Hi Borislav!
I'm sorry for the late answer.

I have now finally been able to check this, and yes, I'm already using
the latest version of the BIOS, which is Phoenix cME FirstBIOS Desktop
Pro version 5.00 R1.07.2264.A1 (a.k.a. 5.00.1.07, 25.04.2006) for
Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E5600, mainboard D2264-A1, CPU AMD Sempron 3000+.

How'd that be done?

Well, you need to run the following script when the machine boots. I.e.,
you'd probably have to add it to /etc/init.d/ and make it run at some
runlevel, sometime early-ish, before a user can login.

Here's a more correct version. I'm not saying yours won't work based
on the rdmsr and setpci output on your box, but here's a version which
should pay attention to one other workaround and work on all K8s.

Thanks for that. I invoke it from /etc/rc.local, and then get:
However, putting in that one audio CD still crashes the machine:

Original (identical, from a quick glance) MCE is at
