Loading the usb drivers on my machine dumps 155 lines into dmesg. Surely that's a bit excessive? But really for me it's the network drivers that actually annoy me. They dump stuff into dmesg during the regular course of operation. As a result it doesn't take long until the boot messages leave the buffer. Of course they're in the log files, but running dmesg and getting screenfulls of the same messages about boring network events over and over just annoys me. -- greg - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
