I keep noticing this error on boot up. esp0: Gross error sreg=51
I suspect it is not a good thing, but I don't know what it means. The system seems to be working anyhow. Is this something I can/should fix. Does it have to do with the kernel? hardware? whatever?? -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Probably more info than anyone wants to look at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$ more dmesg PROMLIB: Sun Boot Prom Version 3 Revision 2 Linux version 2.2.15 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux )) #1 SMP Sun Apr 30 00:05:15 EDT 2000 ARCH: SUN4M TYPE: Sun4m SparcStation10/20 Ethernet address: 8:0:20:12:7c:70 Boot time fixup v1.6. 4/Mar/98 Jakub Jelinek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
