Hi, Booting 2.6.21-rc3-g45592145 I noticed the following on one of my machines in the bootlog:
io scheduler noop registered<6>Time: jiffies clocksource has been installed. io scheduler deadline registered (default) Looking at block/elevator.c, it appears that elv_register() uses two consecutive printks in a non-atomic way, leading to the above glitch. The attached trivial patch fixes this issue, by using a single printk. HTH T-Bone PS: please CC-me in replies.
