Hi All, I have the same problem on two rh 7.1 servers. I also have two other servers without the problem. The first two with the problem both use /dev/lp0 (lpt1) and are fresh installs of rh 7.1. One is SMP and the other is a single processor. The SMP unit gets twice the Windbond gargage on the screen as the single. The third unit without the problem is a fresh install but does not use /dev/lp0. (It spools for network printers with MIO cards.) The forth unit, also without the problem, uses /dev/lp0 but is an upgrade from Red Hat 7.0. The only time the Windbond messages pop up is if I deliberately restart lpd ("/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart"). I hope this helps, --Tony aewell Super-Bond and SMSC mesgs are logged by /etc/syslog in /var/log/messages. Hi All, The clutter (Super-Bond and SMSC mesgs) in question is being sent to both /var/log/messages and /dev/console. The problem is the echo to /dev/console. --Tony aewell You could reproduce this if you removed/inserted the kernel parallel port driver modules manually (using using "rmmod" and "modprove"). See output of "lsmod" for which modules are loaded. Also note kernel 2.4.3-12 update. Use the 'dmesg' command to adjust the amount of kernel traffic that goes to the console. This annoying message has been fixed in later kernels (2.4.5 onwards). |
