running 'Strings' against the Mac OS X kernel

I went to Paris last week, grabbed a freshly minted copy of Mac OS X Beta, and installed it on my G3/333. Its stable enough that I'm going to use it as the sole OS on my primary Mac from now on. But anyway....

As soon a I got to a CLI I ran the strings command against 'mach_kernel'.

I've seen some of them, and others will no doubt be familiar to kernel hackers, but here are some of the more interesting messages I found :


double panic

Sorry Dave, I cann not do that. IOPcCardTuples are the rapresentatsion of hardware objects and thus they can not be created

Very few network switches and very few lost/gained connections, so we lower the power usage

There is more activity than this power mode can handle, so we need to increase power

Uhmmm.. I can't get this machine's io base address
