Logcheck devel - Feb 2006 - Bug#353510: logcheck-database: Ignore "kernel: Device not ready...", please

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.42
Severity: wishlist

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


I'm getting messages like this:

localhost kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
localhost kernel: program hwinfo is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please
convert it to SG_IO
localhost kernel: BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 2 devices found

I don't know what's causing any of them, but they don't seem to be
problems.  I'm not completely sure about the second two, but I know the
first is superfluous.  Can these be ignored?  Thanks.

This is a bug in hwinfo (#325175), you're welcome to add local rules  
for this (just make sure you add them to local-foo instead of foo,  
then there's no chance of them getting overwritten on upgrade) but I  
don't feel that adding rules for messages caused by bugs is a good idea.

I'm assuming that this isn't a startup message.

I've added the following rules to CVS which match the messages you  
provided above, they'll be included in the next release:

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ kernel: Device not ready. Make  
sure there is a disc in the drive.$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ kernel: BIOS EDD facility v[.0-9]+  
[0-9]+-\w{3}-[0-9]+, [0-9]+ devices found$

Thanks for your bug report,
