I am getting a BUG report on the following SuSE 10.2 system: $ uname -a Linux ascbackup 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
The only clear effect I'm seeing is that the system beeps and dumps the following message in /var/log/messages every 5 to 15 seconds for some period of time. Eventually this stops for a while, and then starts up again. Any input is appreciated, and if I can help trace it down, let me know. Please cc: me with any response.
