I just recompiled my kernel in an effort to get sound working. Just after the LILO display, several lines (20-30?) of (4-digit, IIRC) hex numbers scroll by in a single column. Then the normal boot process continues. I get an error about vmmon (VMWARE), and maybe others that I haven't noticed, but the machine appears to be pretty much okay (except that I still don't have sound and my VMWARE is broken).
My real question is this: are the hex numbers normal on some compiles, or have I done something wrong? (I know you probably can't tell me what is wrong; but can you verify that something is indeed wrong, or are the numbers normal behaviour?) Thanks.
