installed The latest beta 3 on an ASUS 96U and get tainted log messages.

I just put parts of the log in chatgpt and it wrote the following

  The text you provided appears to be a snippet from a Linux kernel log, specifically a kernel panic or a crash dump. Here's a breakdown of the key elements to help understand what each part means:
  1. Timestamp and Log Level:
     • Jan 1 00:18:33: Timestamp of the log entry.
     • kernel:: Indicates that the log is from the kernel.
  2. Process and State Information:
     • CPU: 1 PID: 21826 Comm: dcd: Indicates that the CPU 1 was handling a process with PID (Process ID) 21826 named "dcd".
     • Tainted: P O 4.19.294 #1: The kernel has been tainted, which can indicate that non-free or unsupported modules are loaded, affecting the reliability of kernel messages. "P" and "O" are specific taint flags, with "P" typically indicating proprietary modules and "O" meaning that an out-of-tree module has been loaded. Version 4.19.294 #1 indicates the kernel version.
  3. Hardware Information:
     • Hardware name: Broadcom-v8A (DT): The hardware platform, in this case, a Broadcom architecture using ARM v8-A instruction set, possibly a type of embedded or networking hardware.
  4. Processor State:
     • pstate: 200f0010 (nzCv q A32 LE aif): Processor state flags at the time of the log. This includes condition flags like negative, zero, carry, overflow, etc., and other specific mode information.
     • pc : 00000000f7723558: Program counter pointing to the current instruction address causing the issue.
     • lr : 0000000080808080: Link register, which typically contains the return address for subroutines.
     • sp : 00000000ffc42790: Stack pointer, pointing to the top of the stack.
  5. Register Values:
     • Registers x0 through x12: These are general-purpose registers on ARM architecture, showing their contents at the time of the crash. x0 to x2 are often used for passing arguments to functions and returning results. The values here can help developers understand what the CPU was processing at the time of the crash.
  This kernel log can be very helpful for developers debugging system crashes, especially in understanding what the CPU was executing at the time of the problem and the state of various system registers.
  
  
  
  I pasted a rather large portion of the log and this was one of the replies it gave me.
  • • Entries like Dec 31 22:26:59 acsd: acs_scan_timer_or_dfsr_check(1590): wl0: cs scan failed (ret=-22) and try after 60 min suggest problems with automatic channel selection (ACS) scans for your WiFi. Error -22 could indicate hardware issues, software bugs, or environmental factors affecting the WiFi radios' ability to scan and select appropriate channels.
  • Environmental Factors or Hardware Failure:
    • The frequency and repetition of the ACS scan failures imply that the router is repeatedly attempting to recover from an error condition but is unable to do so, likely due to environmental interference or a failing radio module.
  
  I am also getting these messages below that my cellphone or printer and other things are connecting and disconnecting due to inactivity or 4 way handshake timeout errors...

• I was the lastest asus firmware on there earlier today and installed merlin without resetting anything a few hours ago. It said I shouldn't have to reset unless I came from other open source firmware's.

• Anyways just trying to help and hope this does.

Your router is OK. That is a well-known crash caused by the Trend Micro-related services (I thinks that DCD stands for the "Data Collection Daemon"). It doesn't seem to have any negative effects.
