Abstract

A system and method of obtaining error data within an information handling system is disclosed. According to one aspect, an interrupt handling system can include a first system management interrupt handler operable to initiate access to a first interrupt event message. The interrupt handling system can also include a first resource operable to generate the first interrupt event message. In one form, the first interrupt event message can identify a first interrupt event occurrence detectable by the first system management interrupt handler. The interrupt handling system can further include a memory including a first allocated memory location configured to store the first interrupt event message using the first system management interrupt handler. In one form, the first system management interrupt handler can be responsive to a second system management interrupt handler request to read the first interrupt event message.
