I have no idea, but it is a real pain. I'm using Linux Mint 14 and 15[which are based on Ubuntu] on 2 older desktops, 1 new desktop, and one recent laptop. All of them work perfectly fine on both my wired network and the wireless network without the failsafe function - so I don't think it will cause any major issues. Don't forget to disable bootchart after you have finished using it for troubleshooting! Under certain conditions, it will continue running and logging even after bootup. My recollection is that bootchart will only stop logging when gdm starts running - so if your not running x-windows on bootup, it will run forever[or in my case, if your running a downstream distribution based on ubuntu which uses it's own logon manager in place of gdm!]. After a few days of running, it filled up /var/log with useless data and caused weird issues. A better "solution" would of course be to modify the control scripts to modify the "finished booting" checks to match your system configuration - but I was too lazy to do that when I could simply disable it and not worry. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
