Getting the message from the kernelGetting the message from the kernelPosted Jun 21, 2007 9:24 UTC (Thu) by james (subscriber, #1325)In reply to: Getting the message from the kernel by tzafrir Parent article: Getting the message from the kernel This is where unique message IDs really come in handy -- they're great for Googling. The message itself can be localised, but the message ID can be used to find descriptions and fixes in whatever language you like. In this day and age, I don't see why "making life easy for search engines and their users" shouldn't be a major design point.

Getting the message from the kernel Posted Jun 21, 2007 17:13 UTC (Thu) by cpeterso (subscriber, #305) [Link] Definitely! If message IDs are just integers, users will never find them in Google.
For a good example, Microsoft's compiler errors have IDs such as C2097 and linker errors have IDs such as LNK2019. Googling those error codes usually brings up exactly what you were looking for.
