2.6.0-test6 -- Huh???
I freely admit to being something of a neophyte when it comes to the internal details of the Linux kernel. I've been successfully running development and test kernels since 2.5.40 or so, and I've never before seen anything like the following:

The above messages appeared in a root terminal running from Gnome, while I was outside replacing fuses in my truck. Given that my truck is not yet running Linux or connected to my network (give me time...), I'm at a loss as to what caused the above, and what it means.
Polite illumination will be most graciously appreciated.

The lines are caused by a message such as is sent by the 'write' command, I suspect something on your system might have an unhappy script which is abusing that command or using the same mechanism to send you this information. I think the sender is telling you "I am so confused" at this point.
