Hi All,

I just purchased a dedicated server from a hosting provider with a fresh install of Debian. Every so often the following is being outputted to stdout:

Any ideas what would cause this? Is this something I should be concerned about? Is this my issue or the hosting providers issue, meaning is there something configured wrong, or is there something up with the hardware?

Thanks,

Hi,

Maybe it's me but I see 2 questions.

1) www kernel: Disabling IRQ #11

Most of the time you can ignore the "Disabling IRQ #xy" message. Only thing I can come up with that needs further investigation is when a certain device does not work anymore after you get this message.

2) Message from syslogd being outputted to stdout

klogd is responsible for these messages. Messages with a certain level can also be redirected to stdout.
You can change this behavior (disabling it or rise the severity level) by removin/adding/changing klogd's -c <number> option.

Take a look at man klogd for details.

Here are some klogd/debian related links:

Hope this helps.
