From 6057077f6ebc0747c2f5b21dfb1eb782f489d0f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yazen Ghannam Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2017 18:28:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Update bootlog description to reflect behavior on AMD The bootlog option is only disabled by default on AMD Fam10h and older systems. Update bootlog description to say this. Change the family value to hex to avoid confusion.
