This enables generation of exceptions that are due to uncorrected hardware errors. The exception handlers were already in place and will now actually trigger kernel panics. Note that this is the simplest form of MCE "handling" and does not add anything of the broader machine check architecture (MCA) that also allow reporting of corrected errors. As MCEs are generally hard to decode due to their hardware specifity, this merely makes such problems more obvious. Might help to discern hardware issues in cases that would otherwise just triple fault and cause a reboot.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
