Sorry if the name 'SoliD' mislead you, it is actually just the hostname
of the machine, which appears in the logs ;)


How funny! There /are/ specialized MCAD kernels out there with comparable
names, so... learn something new everyday, eh?

There aren't any 'whirring' or 'clicking' noises accompanying those messages,
are there?... from inside the box? ;-)

Hehe, indeed, woke my interest as well, had to do a google search for
mcad ;)

The box is some hundred kilometers away from me, so any such noises
would not have alerted me.
However, the last time I was at the machine, the was no whirring or
clicking coming from it, though the messages still appeared.

I was wondering, if loaded modules could produce this output, as I
believe it started after loading a driver for a wireless NIC with a
RaLink chipset on it.
