I do realise that kernel gets "tainted" because the modules has not got the proper license specified, like GPL. The question is: how do I make the message dissapear, while redirections >/dev/null 2>&1 do not help.. And why the message is printed to the console? lrwxrwxrwx S12syslog -> ../init.d/syslog lrwxrwxrwx S19vmware -> ../init.d/vmware Syslog is started prior to vmware execution. Indeed, when vmware is started by hand (not on startup), that messages goes to syslog, *not* to the console. ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Elsner <Elsner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: VMware module warning Date: Thursday 15 December 2005 17:25 >On Thu, 15 Dec 2005 17:19:46 +0500 Sergey wrote: >> Greets! >> >> vmmon: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
