strange startup message
Last modified: 2005-08-25 15:16:01 UTC
During boot someone says: Loaded 390393878469839080 bytes [...] Loaded 778254559458668524 bytes (see attached log)- Whatever that is, is seems to be rather optimistic about its capabilities. :-) On a side note, the order of the boot messages is really messed up (logged via serial line).
Created attachment 47516 [details] boot message log
Use RUN_PARALLEL=no in /etc/sysconfig/boot and reboot for a usable message.
IMHO this could be a message of the modules from the km_fcdsl package. This is only found in /etc/ and /usr/ with the strings `Loaded' and `bytes'. The LOG() in the driver uses `%d' whereas the value is an unsigned integer.
Created attachment 47534 [details] log with run_parallel=no
No the DSL modules are not loaded at all here and also see this message. And it should display then "Loaded xxx bytes of firmware". I guess that it maybe /sbin/preload kkeil@pinginb:~> strings /sbin/preload |grep Load Loaded %zd bytes
the numbers are _huge_ - and it shouldn't output anything I guess
Next version won't print anything. But the huge numbers should be explained somehow. Perhaps a 64bit problem. Steffen: can you please start preload by hand, like so: % /sbin/preload < /var/cache/preload/boot (or any other file in that directory)?
f174:/ # /sbin/preload < /var/cache/preload/boot.preload Loaded 390393878469839436 bytes
Hmpf, that's a problem with the FIGETBSZ ioctl. It fills only a 32bit argument, but I declared it as long. Fixed in the next version.
Mark FIXED.
