Note – The Linux system reboots, but does not inform the BIOS of this incident.
Handling of System Errors (SERR)
This section lists facts and considerations about how the server handles system
errors (SERR).
■ System error handling works through the HyperTransport Synch Flood Error
mechanism on 8111 and 8131.
■ The following events happen during BIOS POST:
■ POST reports any previous system errors at the bottom of screen. See
FIGURE D-4 for an example.

SEL. See the following sample output:

Record Type : 00
Timestamp : 08/10/2005 06:05:32
