I fixed up the rejects by hand and compiled a new kernel against bk-latest. I am running with that version now, which doesn't emit the string of messages I reported originally. The only minor anomaly I note is the cursor is a three-segment underscore rather than a solid underscore. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
