Proxmox VE does not use the mcelog package at all, so I guess you should report that to the mcelog maintainer instead.

Hi Dietmar, I was thinking that because the PVE kernel is not a standard Debian Lenny kernel that perhaps the mcelog package that comes with Debian Lenny does not support this kernel.

I am also reading that "mcelog is required by both 32bit x86 Linux kernels (since 2.6.30) and 64bit Linux kernels (since early 2.6 kernel releases) to log machine checks and should run on all Linux systems that need error handling."

And wondered if such a package should not be included in a default installation of PVE?

As you posted, that package does not even work - so why do I want to include it?
