How did you apply your change into the new BE? Are you using the Cap-Eye-Install to replace kernel image only or BFU? 2009.6 is based on snv_111, which build of kernel are you using? As far as I know, "print_msg_hwerr" implementation was added recently after onnv_115, if you are using onnv_116 and later kernel but using snv_111 BE, I think that would be a problem. -Aubrey > > I'm looking for anybody that can give some support on getting this > working.
