ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is provided for reporting errors in a computer system. The mechanism detecting an error in the computer system. The mechanism identifies a first error message associated with the error and a second error message associated with the error. The first error message and the second error message are then reported by the mechanism. The error messages provide different details regarding the error such that the first error message provides a general description of the error and the second error message provides a detailed description of the error. The mechanism is capable of displaying the first error message and the second error message on the computer system. The first error message can be associated with a first software module and the second error message can be associated with a second software module. An error message stack is used to store the first error message and the second error message.
