Description Florian Steinel 2010-08-28 12:16:35 UTC 
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.34 it sends
the message "event-scan failed" to the kernel log about 60 times per second
as long as it's running.

See URL for the patch.

Sorry, the patch just doesn't applay anymore but is still needed.
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c:
ca. row 490
+       if (!rtas_event_scan_rate) {
+               /* Broken firmware: take a rate of zero to mean don't scan */
+               printk(KERN_DEBUG "rtasd: scan rate is 0, not scanning\n");
+               return 0;
+       }
+
        /* Make room for the sequence number */
        rtas_error_log_max = rtas_get_error_log_max();
        rtas_error_log_buffer_max = rtas_error_log_max + sizeof(int);
