After updating to 6.5, I see an error at boot: "WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:512" related to the "lpc_icf" module
Issue
- After updating to RHEL 6.5 (kernel-2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64), I'm seeing the error below in /var/log/messages and dmesg. The system appears to be running OK. This is an IBM HX5 double-wide blade. I went through the last reboot messages, and don't see this error on the 6.4 (2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64) and do not see this error.
Errors are included below:
