Issue
- mcelog reads /dev/mcelog but would kernel write machine events to /dev/mcelog in VMware guest?
- Why mcelogd service doesn't start on boot up?
- The mcelogd service doesn't start on boot up.
- Error in syslog:
mcelog: mcelog read: No such device
mcelog: Cannot open logfile /var/log/mcelog: Permission denied
