The first few lines, always a different amount of lines, are always missing and can not be seen by doing `dmesg` or `cat /var/log/dmesg`. I have been using the -ac branch exclusively and am currently using -ac with the most up-to-date CVS ext3 -ac merge and Robert Love's most current preempt patches. Currently I am running 2.4.10-ac10 with the 2.4.7-ac7-ext3-0.9.12 branch of ext3 CVS to get me up to date with ext3 and also running the 2.4.10-ac10 set of preempt patches. Here is the begining of what is contained in both the output of `dmesg` and `cat /var/log/dmesg`: == BEGIN OUTPUT == 0 (reserved) 127MB HIGHMEM available. found SMP MP-table at 000f5620 hm, page 000f5000 reserved twice. hm, page 000f6000 reserved twice. hm, page 000f1000 reserved twice. hm, page 000f2000 reserved twice.
