MCE support


I compiled  kernel 2.4.19 with Machine Check  Exception (MCE) support.
But I read

"For pentium machines the mce support defaults to off as the mainboard
support is not always present. You must activate it as a boot option."

Infact if  I look at  dmesg I find  it's not enabled.  I  searched for
this option in Documentation files but I found nothing.  
Anyone knows the right option?

PS Obvioulsy I controlled and my machine supports MCE as can been seen
from /proc/cpuinfo


root@darkstar:/proc# cat cpuinfo
[..]
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge 
		  mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
