Hi, I haven't posted here for some time, but I'm getting a little
concerned by some of the messages I'm finding in /var/log/messages:
BTW I've removed the UUID from this for obvious reasons:

Nov  9 12:21:15 thunderchild kernel: Linux version
2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64 (mockbuild@) (gcc version 4.3.0 20080428
(Red Hat 4.3.0-8) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Jun 18 12:24:37 EDT 2009
Nov  9 12:21:15 thunderchild kernel: Command line: ro
root=UUID=(removed)1 rhgb quiet
Nov  9 12:21:15 thunderchild kernel: KERNEL supported cpus:
Nov  9 12:21:15 thunderchild kernel:   Intel GenuineIntel
Nov  9 12:21:15 thunderchild kernel:   AMD AuthenticAMD
Nov  9 12:21:15 thunderchild kernel:   Centaur CentaurHauls

WTF is a 'Centaur CentaurHauls' CPU?
Has something bad crept into the kernel?


Also when I visit www.wikileaks.com I get this logged:

Nov 11 22:37:45 thunderchild firefox: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for
"www.wikileaks.com IN AAAA", got type "39"
Nov 11 22:37:45 thunderchild firefox: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for
"www.wikileaks.com IN A", got type "39"

Never seen firefox log such a message in /var/log/messages

Can anyone advise?

Many Thanks
Jason
