The "POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX" message is still in the
kernel, see:
Linux version 2.4.7-pre5 (root@sparta.athena.inc) (gcc version 2.96
20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)) #29 Tue Jul 10 21:08:23 EDT 2001
[snip]
CPU: AMD-K5(tm) Processor stepping 04
Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xf04e0, last bus=0
PCI: Using configuration type 1
[snip]
May be time to send a note to Allen or Linus.
[snip discussion of formal testing and issues]
