These messages are repeated three times because they are prefixed? 2.6.14 also presented the info several times: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC,PNP0f13:MICE] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A pnp: the driver 'serial' has been registered pnp: match found with the PnP device '00:09' and the driver 'serial' ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A I don't have a 2.6.15 flavor system handy at the moment, my bleeding edge system is being OpenSolaris today :-( Is there value to having this apparently duplicate information displayed? It looks like babble, or worse some init code being called multiple times, if this is as it should be, or useful to some developer fine, I just don't quite read that into your answer saying it's prefixed. And I don't see serial8250 in Gene's post or my dmesg. -- -bill davidsen (davidsen@tmr.com) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me - 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/
