Hello,

1. The relevant lines from syslog is:

Nov  8 10:13:56 fiws117 mcelog: mcelog read: No such device

2. The problem does not exist in standard kernel.

3. In my sources.list, I replaced squeeze with sid, ran an apt-get update
and executed apt-get install mcelog. This did not install a newer version
of mcelog, so I guess that there is no newer version.

I found out, that (like in so many other cases) this is once again a
timing problem with udev, i.e. some service tries to access a device
before udev has created the corresponding node. Simply adding 'udevadm
settle' in /etc/init.d/mcelog somewhere before calling start-stop-daemon
solves the problem.

Regards
  Christoph
