hi, is there available that patch?
With the fresh new 2.6.34 the logflood problem is still present.
You could try this, completely untested:
diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c
index 4190eae..fd68bed 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c
+++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c
@@ -490,6 +490,12 @@ static int __init rtas_init(void)
                return -ENODEV;
        }

+       if (!rtas_event_scan_rate) {
+               /* Broken firmware: take a rate of zero to mean don't
scan */
quoted
+               printk(KERN_DEBUG "rtasd: scan rate is 0, not
scanning\n");
quoted
+               return 0;
+       }

        /* Make room for the sequence number */
        rtas_error_log_max = rtas_get_error_log_max();
        rtas_error_log_buffer_max = rtas_error_log_max + sizeof(int);

hi Michael, thanks for pointing me to that patch, now my Pegasos2 G4
seems to
work fine.
Great. Can I add Tested-by you?
hi Michael,
thanks, this patch seems to solve that problem on my Pegasos2 too.


thanks,
Nico
