Subject: binary garbage in dmesg/boot messages (2.2.18pre23)
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 05:46:44 -0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001123054644.A23839@plato.local.lan> (raw)
I was testing out 2.2.18pre23 for USB purposes and found that its
outputing binary garbage at boot:
BIOS Vendor: Intel Corporation
BIOS Version: 1.00.10.DD04
BIOS Release: 03/19/97
System Vendor: Sony Corporation.
Product Name: PCV-70(U2).
Version Sony GI.
Serial Number 1003494.
Board Vendor: Intel Corporation.
Board Name: Agate.
Board Version: AA662195-305.
BIOS Vendor: f.£^]<94>fAè^D.£ESC<94>^N^_
BIOS Version: SV^^gÅu^B.<8B>^^^^<9D><88>^\gÅu^F.<8B>^^

it appears to not cause any further problems, other then trashing the
terminal of anyone who runs dmesg...
/proc/version:
Linux version 2.2.18pre23 (root@plato) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000220
(Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Thu Nov 23 04:01:23 AKST 2000
this does not occur under 2.2.17.
please CC replies.
