[gentoo-user] Weird log messages

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I'm still working on reviving my old Thinkpad T61. I have it booting without 
X, but syslog-ng is repeating these lines every second or so. Does anyone 
recognise them?

Jan  9 15:24:56 tpad kernel: *** thread awakened
Jan  9 15:24:56 tpad kernel: Command TEST_UNIT_READY (6 bytes)
Jan  9 15:24:56 tpad kernel: bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00
Jan  9 15:24:56 tpad kernel: Bulk Command S 0x43425355 T 0x8d L 0 F 0 Trg 0 
LUN 0 CL 6
Jan  9 15:24:56 tpad kernel: xfer 31 bytes
Jan  9 15:24:56 tpad kernel: Status code 0; transferred 31/31

The same also happens if no network devices have been started.

Peter.

I didn't quote all of it. This is more complete:

Check if your kernel is built with (if so, disable it) :

Damn! I was sure I'd left all debug options switched off. That seems to have 
been it. I'm just recompiling now; it takes about 25 minutes, down from 35 
since I slotted an SSD in to replace the 13-y-o spinner.
