My apologies for sending two messages to the list. KMail and I had a little fight about identities, pgp signatures, and mail formats. Anyways, here's what should have been in the first message:
After Fedora Core 3 boots on my machine (custom kernel) and I get to the login prompt, I get two identical messages:
svc: bad direction 65536, dropping request svc: bad direction 65536, dropping request
These messages also show up in /var/log/messages.
I have googled and found several sites--but most of them are in some other language, or they are users asking the same question with no responses given.
I have even tried grepping through the kernel source looking for that message.
Although I am running a custom kernel, this has occured in the stock FC3 kernel.
Does anyone have an idea (or theory :) ) where I should start digging next?
