 |
|
Hello everyone,
I am having an issue and would like to know if anyone else is seeing this. I keep getting the following message in /var/log/messages:
"Aug 8 16:13:50 (server removed) kernel: [246700.376529] w83627ehf w83627ehf.656: Increasing fan3 clock divider from 32 to 64"
I get this spammed every 5 seconds into the messages file and I would like to remove it or block it. I am using the 2.6.39-r3 kernel currently. With this filling up the log file it makes it tough to find people trying to use postfix as a relay and blocking them. I am not sure if this is coming from the ACPI functions in the kernel or not. I guess I could rebuild the kernel and find out if the message goes away.
TIA,
Ahnilated |

| As suggested by the name, this message comes from drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c. Since it is written by a dev_dbg statement, I would not expect it to appear in a production kernel. What is your kernel dmesg verbosity level? |

I am not sure how to check this.

I removed that driver and now the messages have stopped. I don't really need it being my motherboard controls the fan speeds. So thanks for the help.
