Ouch. I've never seen that myself though, works perfectly fine for me. Could be somehow related to the scrambled compiler logs reported a few weeks ago, maybe the tty/line buffer handling is broken ... > $ ./OldKernels/vmlinux-2.6.11-rc3 stderr=1 [ snip ] as expected ... > $ ./vmlinux-2.6.11-rc4-bk-testLock-nofix console=stderr > Checking for /proc/mm...found > Checking for the skas3 patch in the host...found > Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /tmp...OK > [ no more messages ] stderr=1 is needed in any case. console=stderr might be needed additionally in case you want to sent the kernel messages to _two_ console devices, i.e. something like this (both stderr and the xterm for tty1): # linux con=pts con1=xterm stderr=1 console=stderr console=tty1 HTH, Gerd -- #define printk(args...) fprintf(stderr, ## args) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
