IIRC, they are jiffies a.k.a timer clock. It is incremented every 1/HZ second. Major distros usually use HZ=1000 these days. Looking at kernel config, I believe this parameter is the one that toggle that timestamp: CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y So changing it to N and recompile the kernel should get rid of it. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
