Having looked through the log file /var/adm/messages i've noticed these kernel warning messages and i don't know what they mean:
I have looked google to find an explanation and from the few bits i have found i seems as though it relates to bios. But in the posts i found, those people were using multi-core processors where as i am not (don't know if that's relevant or not).
I'm using a Dell OptiPlex 170L and the processor is Intel Pentium 4.
Does anyone know what they mean and if it means there's a problem what i can do to correct it?
Hi,
I have a SunFire V490, Solaris 10 with XP1024 storage and HP Library. I have noticed the following error messages in the /var/adm/messages file. These errors are being generated constantly. Also commands like devfsadm, format cfgadm etc are getting hung. After a reboot it works fine for a... (1 Reply)

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux.
I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK.
Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)

strlog
strlog(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers strlog(9F)NAME
strlog - submit messages to the log driver
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/strlog.h>
#include <sys/log.h>
int strlog(short mid, short sid, char level,
unsigned short flags, char *fmt, ...);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
mid Identification number of the module or driver submitting the message (in the case of a module, its mi_idnum value from mod-
ule_info(9S)).
sid Identification number for a particular minor device.
level Tracing level for selective screening of low priority messages. Larger values imply less important information.
flags Valid flag values are:
SL_ERROR Message is for error logger.
SL_TRACE Message is for trace.
SL_NOTIFY Mail copy of message to system administrator.
SL_CONSOLE Log message to console.
SL_FATAL Error is fatal.
SL_WARN Error is a warning.
SL_NOTE Error is a notice.
fmt printf(3C) style format string. %e, %g, and %G formats are not allowed but %s is supported.
DESCRIPTION
The strlog() function expands the printf(3C) style format string passed to it, that is, the conversion specifiers are replaced by the
actual argument values in the format string. The 32-bit representations of the arguments (up to NLORGARGS) follow the string starting at
the next 32-bit boundary following the string. Note that the 64-bit argument will be truncated to 32-bits here but will be fully repre-
sented in the string.
The messages can be retrieved with the getmsg(2) system call. The flags argument specifies the type of the message and where it is to be
sent. strace(1M) receives messages from the log driver and sends them to the standard output. strerr(1M) receives error messages from the
log driver and appends them to a file called /var/adm/streams/error.mm-dd, where mm-dd identifies the date of the error message.
RETURN VALUES
The strlog() function returns 0 if it fails to submit the message to the log(7D) driver and 1 otherwise.
CONTEXT
The strlog() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
FILES
/var/adm/streams/error.mm-dd
Error messages dated mm-dd appended by strerr(1M) from the log driver
