Odd error on boot

I get this now on every boot:

Any ideas what it means? Thanks :slight_smile:

it seems like checking the system and its devises

I am getting that error too. Everything seems to be working fine though. What scares me most is the sentence “cryptsetup Tainted”! :S

As you both can see, it says nothing about ERROR, or FATAL, it says WARNING. Since everything works just let it be.

Hi Knurpht,

you’re right, everything seems to work ok. Yet I am pretty concerned about the relationship between these two words that appear side by side:

cryptsetup Tainted

It would be quite silly to be using encrypted partitions and not worry about such a message, don’t you agree? :slight_smile:

Cheers!

This was fixed by yesterday’s kernel update.

2.6.27.21-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-03-31 14:50:44 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

fixed for me too :slight_smile:

Thanks you both!
Cheers!
