This scares me:
+#define fail_message \ +"High-res-timers: >-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<\n"\ +"High-res-timers: >Failed to find the ACPI pm timer <\n"\ +"High-res-timers: >-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<-->Boot will fail in Calibrate Delay <\n"\ +"High-res-timers: >Supply a valid default pm timer address <\n"\ +"High-res-timers: >or get your BIOS to turn on ACPI support. <\n"\ +"High-res-timers: >See CONFIGURE help for more information. <\n"\ +"High-res-timers: >-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<\n"
Does that mean our boot has now so much junk in it that we start adding ascii art for "important" messages? Pavel -- Worst form of spam? Adding advertisment signatures ala sourceforge.net. What goes next? Inserting advertisment *into* email? - 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/
