Two questions about taint system..
1. I have a installation of archlinux with kernel 3.0, just after boot I cat /proc/sys/kenrel/tainted and receives 1024, but cat /var/log/messages | grep -i taint gives me no output. How can I know what is tainting my kernel?
Look for the "BIOS is broken..." message, 1024 is TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND.
No, it's TAINT_CRAP.
Really? As the person who added TAINT_CRAP to the kernel, for some foolish reason I thought that was the 10th bit, not the 11th bit, which would be 1024, right?
It's defined as 10 in kernel.h, which makes it actually the 11th bit, and it's documented as 1024 in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt.
Doh, you are right, I was thinking that set_bit() started with 1 as the rightmost bit, when that would be 0. greg k-h
