Description Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-15 21:02:33 UTC 
On Alpha, gentoo-sources has a patch that allows prevention of unaligned accesses in dhcpcd spamming the console. This would be very neat during install (people probably don't care about UACs during install). 

sysctl -w uac.noprint=1

in during bootup should do the trick.

OK, I fixed this by updating the fsscript which gets run in SVN...
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-12 00:50:07 UTC 
We'll close it once the final 2008.0 is out.
Comment 3 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-18 11:14:37 UTC 
With the current kernel, the sysctl has been renamed:

livecd root # grep uac /etc/sysctl.conf 
uac.noprint = 1
livecd root # sysctl -a |grep noprint
kernel.uac.noprint = 0
livecd root #

Thus, I fixed this in livecd.sh (svn).
