    Synopsis: Panic with failing SATA disk
    
    State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
    State-Changed-By: dholland%NetBSD.org@localhost
    State-Changed-When: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 06:52:50 +0000
    State-Changed-Why:
    Unfortunately, when hardware starts throwing machine-check exceptions at
    you, there's not much that can be done. AFAIK. (Someone correct me if this
    is flagrantly wrong.)
 
 
 modern platforms can report recoverable errors via MCE.  :-)
