Cheers -pete *** SNIPPED TEXT BELOW *** Environment -Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 -kernel-2.6.32-220.2.1.el6 Resolution -No action necessary.

Root Cause -When a system encounters this issue it will only print the warning once. -There are no adverse effects on a system that encounters this warning. -This is resolved upstream by removing the WARN_ON_ONCE() from sched(). -- Peter Brady Email: pdbrady at ans.com.au Skype: pbrady77 Mobile: +61 410 490 797 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
