This is what my dmesg report kicked out however, i don't think it matched up with what I see when i accually boot.

Is there a what that I can copy and paste the accual startup log other than using dmesg.

What is funny is that it doesn't seem to affect the operation of the machine, but i am still learning so who knows.

Background on the machine if that helps It is a P4 2.4 Ghz Laptop

Thanks

Use the search, Luke!

Just enter i810_rng as the serach term,
slackware as the forum, and you should
have all the answers ...

Cheers,
Tink
