You cannot read from or write to the EIP register so it is not available for general programming use. However its value will be visible to you when you are debugging. Sorry, I have no idea how to translate the EIP values. I assume the kernel is debugging and trying to find a workaround for a particular problem with the hardware: chipset, interface, etc. If you have ever built a kernel, there are many many fixes, patches, and workarounds for different chipsets, motherboards, and CPUs which you can include. I'm not even sure if it's a problem or not. But if these message are dumped onto the console, it probably is a kernel/chipset problem. Perhaps someone can explain all this??? see orignial post. jay -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
