ABRT is reporting hundreds of machine check events. OK, something is probably wrong with my hardware. But what? I don't know, because ABRT says:

The kernel log indicates that hardware errors were detected.
The data was saved by kernel for processing by the mcelog tool.
However, neither /var/log/mcelog nor system log contain mcelog messages.
Most likely reason is that mcelog is not installed or not configured
to be started during boot.
Without this tool running, the binary data saved by kernel
is of limited usefulness.
(You can save this data anyway by running 'cat </dev/mcelog >FILE').
The recommended course of action is to install mcelog.
If another hardware error would occur, a user-readable description
of it will be saved in system log or /var/log/mcelog.

However, ABRT is wrong. I do have mcelog installed.

$ which mcelog
/usr/sbin/mcelog
$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/mcelog
mcelog-175-3.fc35.x86_64

I notice:

$ sudo mcelog
mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor.  Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.
CPU is unsupported

Seems like ABRT is broken for attempting to use mcelog instead of this edac_mce_amd thing?
