Bug 558281

Now that the pages are swappable in 2.6.33 kernels, max_kernel_pages is no longer necessary. The ksm init script has been modified to only change /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_kernel_pages if it already exists.  This should work with both F12 and future rawhide kernels.

Bug is still present in FC13.

From my /var/log/boot.log:
...
Starting ksm: /etc/rc5.d/S84ksm: line 44: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_kernel_pages: No such file or directory
...

> The ksm init script has been modified to only change
> /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_kernel_pages if it already exists. 

This apparently has not happened:
- From /etc/init.d/ksm on FC13:
...
start() {
    echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    KSM_MAX_KERNEL_PAGES=${KSM_MAX_KERNEL_PAGES:-`default_max_kernel_pages`}
    echo $KSM_MAX_KERNEL_PAGES > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_kernel_pages
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
    RETVAL=$?
    [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && success $"$prog startup" || failure $"$prog startup"
    echo
}
...

- Same in Fedora's git. Even master (f15) still carries the broken init script

yep, I'm seeing it on my f13 box too...

I just updated from f12 to f13 (x86_64) and also see the message.

Me too, F13, package qemu-common.x86_64 version 2:0.12.5-1.fc13

I apologize for that, it seems the update got applied to F-12 and did not get applied upstream.  This change has now been committed upstream, and will be present in the next qemu builds for all releases.

Hi, What Rob Riggs said. 
Info:
I Installed some fuse (filesystem in userspace) options yesterday which installed qemu-common-2:0.12.5.1.fc13.x86_64 as a dependency. My machine is now having this issue also (although other than the message being in the boot log, it doesn't seem to be causing any problems for me so far). I don't have any spice or spice-protocol files installed.

Fedora 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64
Gnome 2.30.0
MacBook 2.1

br,
