kernelcookies - fortune datafile of kernel citations
NOTE: Some of the cookies may contain offensive language. As I don't really want to decide on what someone might find offensive or not and create two seperate files, I only put this warning here. If you don't want offensive fortunes, you'll have to weed this file out yourself.
This is Version 8 of the Kernel cookie file. It contains some of the more obscure kernel messages in the Linux Kernel. One of the most famous messages ("lp1 on fire") was part of the linuxcookies data file (and got me started on this compilation).
Hunting these messages is a tedious task: There's little more
chance than issuing:
/usr/src/linux $ find . -name \*.[c|h]|xargs grep -i printk|more
("printk" may be replaced by "panic" or "penguins" or any other word you're looking for)
Therefore, I am greatful if anyone submits further messages of said kind (please include source file name and kernel version).
If you need to recreate the .dat file (it's the index), you can use strfile(1) which is included in the fortune distribution.
Have fun with the file,
Tobias
