- I sometimes notice the following message in /var/log/messages:
-
- Aug 21 21:55:15 puddles /386bsd: NMI port 61 a0, port 70 ff
-
- can anybody tell me what this means? It doesn't seem to cause any
- problems. Initially, I thought it was related to the math coprocessor,
- but I have hacked the probe function in npx.c to ignore mine.
-
- It seems to occur right at startup, never during (sometimes many days)
- when the machine is running, and certainly not consistently.
-
- Also, I seem to sometimes get empty messages, as in:
-
- Aug 21 21:55:15 puddles /386bsd:
-
- which appear on my console screen as well, so if you run into a
- message producing call that has some funny parameters, let me know.
