I keep getting the following message showing up on my root consoles: > svc: bad direction 268435456, dropping request
It's been a nuisance during upgrade, because when aptitude decides to ask me a configuration question while I'm eating dinner, sometimes the question is hopelessly obscured by the time I have to answer it. I can only hope the question wasn't really important and press return. (sometimes control-L helps. Sometimes not). What is svc? What piece of the system emits this? What kind of requests are being processed? Is it a problem I can fix? Or should I just find a way of redirecting the message to a safer place? I'm using kernel vmlinuz-2.4.16-586. Would a newer kernel help? I googled, and found several discussions that seemed to ask nore thatn answer. The only ultimate cause I found rumoured as a possibility as a LAN with duplicate IP numbers. I don't have that problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
