Description Jianwei Weng 2011-03-03 05:18:40 UTC
core test passed with Error: Could not find log messages since last boot in /var/log/messages!
https://hardware.redhat.com/results.cgi?cert_id=676597&id=224620
core test with this error could be considered as passed?

Comment 1 Greg Nichols 2011-03-07 17:37:11 UTC
The error means that v7/core was unable to determine the clock source.   The test does not fail regardless of the clocksource - it's currently implemented for information only.   v7/core should probably be changed to "Note:" or "Warning:" rather than "Error:"
