The only thing that shows there (when it shows, since sometimes it doesn't
seem to) is a hardware error. You *WILL* be replacing hardware, sometime
soon, like yesterday.

"Normal" is not: *ANYTHING* here is Bad News. First, you've got DIMMs
failing.  CPU 53, assuming this system doesn't have 53+ physical CPUs,
means that you have x-core systems, so you need to divide by x, so that if
it's a 12-core system with 6 physical chips, that would make it DIMM 8
associated with that physical CPU.

Bad news: you have *two* DIMMs failing, one associated with the physical
CPU that has core 53, and another associated with the physical CPU that
has cores 32-35.

Talk to your OEM support to help identify which banks need replacing,
and/or find a motherboard diagram.

          mark, who has to deal *again* with one machine with the same
problem....
