2.6.38.1 and syslog-ng errors - anyone else confirm?

Section from my dmesg booting from 2.6.38.1 (kernel26-ck):

This went away upon installing syslog-ng-3.2.2-2 from [testing].  Can anyone else confirm using kernel26 from [testing]?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Syslog-ng 3.2.2 with 2.6.38.1 (or 2.6.38 for that matter) shouldn't reproduce this warning. I had that with old syslog-ng and before Linus reverted this patch during rc cycle of 2.6.38 (I think that revert landed somewhere around rc6). Anyways it's nothing to worry about either way.

I use vanilla kernel compiled myself and yes have this message (with kernel 2.6.38.1 and also with 2.6.38.2 ).

Re: 2.6.38.1 and syslog-ng errors - anyone else confirm?

you must use syslog-ng from [testing] with 2.6.38

i686
# pacman -U http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/tes … pkg.tar.xz

x86_64
# pacman -U http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/tes … pkg.tar.xz
