I sometimes notice the following message in /var/log/messages:
Aug 21 21:55:15 puddles /386bsd: NMI port 61 a0, port 70 ff
can anybody tell me what this means? It doesn't seem to cause any
problems. Initially, I thought it was related to the math coprocessor,
but I have hacked the probe function in npx.c to ignore mine.
It seems to occur right at startup, never during (sometimes many days)
when the machine is running, and certainly not consistently.
Also, I seem to sometimes get empty messages, as in:
Aug 21 21:55:15 puddles /386bsd:
which appear on my console screen as well, so if you run into a
message producing call that has some funny parameters, let me know.
