Hi, Why should I be getting the following kind of messages. This happens once in a while and seems to have no effect on the working of the system which is RedHat Linux 4.2 with all updates applied. =============== kernel: Warning: dev (04:01) tty->count(4) != #fd's(5) in tty_open kernel: Warning: dev (04:01) tty->count(4) != #fd's(5) in release_dev =============== kernel: eth0: Tx FIFO error! Status 02ea. =============== The eth0 Tx FIFO error perhaps indicates some problem in communication on the ethernet. The RedHat Linux 4.2 machine is acting as a samba server. I get the eth0 messages once in a while while using rcp too. -- Raj +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Raj Singh | EMAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | IC Design Group |---------------------------------| | CEERI, Pilani - 333 031 | PHONE : 91-1596-42359 (office) | | Rajasthan (INDIA) | FAX : 91-1596-42294 (office) | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
