For the record: There is hardware with faulty slot plug-in switches, namely the EeeBox B202 (one of the earlier Intel-Atom-in-a-small-box-boxes). Mine has an empty tray, but displays that message on the tty every 51 seconds.
lsusb reveals the "bad" device (snippet): > Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. USB 2.0 > multicard reader Obviously, doing an rmmod ums_realtek solves the issue of annoying trash on the tty. I am not fluent in rsyslog configuration, but maybe it is possible to reroute that message to /dev/null? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925760 Title: Constant warnings from the kernel: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/925760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
