First off, none of this garbage is coming out to the console. But every ten minutes, the system appends about 40 lines to /usr/adm/messages, and the data is usually the same (currently a concatenation of a couple of boot sequences). Originally it was mostly a bunch of debug messages from a driver, but the debug messages have since been disabled and, as I said, the message is now just a couple of boot sequences. Further, since this started, we have re-booted a couple of times. I will gladly take any recommendations on how to stop this, or what caused it in the first place. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
