Description of problem: After update to RHEL3U6 bogus messages started to appear in the /var/log/messages. They appear immediately after kernel is started and before the 'Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode' message. They look like this: Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: ÃP Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: ^E Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: p0R Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: --quiet Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: ^E Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: # Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: ðT Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: ^E Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo last message repeated 6 times Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo ^A: ^P^\Y Oct 17 16:25:57 zelo rc.sysinit: Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot 2. look into the /var/log/messages Actual results: bogus messages Expected results: no such messages
