Strange "Fast Show" message while copying files - 18/11/1999 13:14

Anyone seen this one?

I was moving some files about on the empeg and I got a message similar to the following on the console:

(You ain't seen me, roight!)

What does it mean, I assume it is a debug message in the kernel.

In the standard ARM Linux distribution this message used to say something about buggy processors and asked you to email the distribution maintainers a copy of your /proc/cpuinfo output! This is a (harmless) artifact of the SA1100 processor that we use, and the original message looked so disturbing that we changed it for something a bit more light hearted.
