Back on May 6th, Nathan Fontenot posted a patch to linuxppc64, that had this fixed when he noticed it got removed. It looks like the patch was never merged. > As for the RTAS messages being printk'd, the only possible > justification would be if there was a userspace tool to analyse them. > I don't know if such a thing exists, and if it does, I certainly don't > have a copy. Is anyone working on that? I pushed a patch to remove the log_error messages from going to the console by default. The error logs still should be put in /proc/ppc64/rtas/error_log for rtas_errd to pick them up and send it to ELA for decode. These apps are already done and can be found on IBM's diagnostic service website. http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/lopdiags/suselinux/pseries Thanks, Jake
