1 What kind of architecture / CPU?
2
3 I suppose it's an AMD CPU as this error is thrown by
4 "drivers/edac/mce_amd.c":
5
6 $ cd /usr/src/linux; fgrep -R "MC1 Error"
7 drivers/edac/mce_amd.c: pr_emerg(HW_ERR "MC1 Error: ");
8
9 $ fgrep -R "Copyback Parity/Victim error"
10 drivers/edac/mce_amd.c: pr_cont("Copyback Parity/Victim
11 error.\n");
