Launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd

Hi,
I'm running 10.5.1, and it's taking a long time for my Mac to start up. I looked in console and found
11/28/07 10:18:32 AM com.apple.launchctl.Aqua[91] launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/machinit_peruser.d/PCIESlotCheck.plist
11/28/07 10:18:42 AM com.apple.launchctl.Aqua[91] launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/machinit_peruser.d/RemoteUI.plist
11/28/07 10:18:44 AM com.apple.launchd[88] (0x101060.PCIESlotCheck) Failed to check-in!
I tried using PListEdit Pro to see what might be offending launchd, but I'm at a loss. Does anyone know how I can get those plists to stop choking launchd? Can I just delete them?
Also, copying messages from Console is a pain now. Is there a way in Leopard to click and drag to select in Console like we used to?
Thank you!
Libby

Sorry, I don't understand these things well enough to explain it, but the gist of it is that in the past, many mechanisms (including 'mach_init') were used to start processes for services, etc. during startup, but since Tiger, Apple has been working toward consolidating them so that eventually 'launchd' will presumably take over everything. If you are really interested, there is some documentation on the startup process here:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/index .html
Regarding the files though, if you did a clean install, it seems odd that they are there - I did an upgrade install, and the files you mentioned weren't present on my system (the "LaunchAgents" versions were). It seems odd to me that there would be that redundancy in a fresh install, especially if it is generating errors. As long as the launchd counterparts are present, it will probably be safe to remove the 'mach_init' ones, but as before, back them up just in case.
Specifically, you can try to match a given file to service by searching the web to help you decide if it is something you want mess with it. For starters, I found this page by searching for the file names you mentioned in the earlier post:

  • 10.6.8 SRV won't boot.... launchctl please convert the following to launchd /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist

    I have MacPro 2008 with SL Server 10.6.8... SUS, NetBoot, VPN.
    I installed last Security Update yesterday and now it wont boot... Spinning gear spins endlessly. I had the same problem couple of months ago (10.6.8 SRV on a MacMini) and I just reinstalled the whole thing but now I don't have the time to do it, plus, I would really like to solve the problem.
    Safe boot does not help, Disk repair is not helping and fixing the disk structure/file system with Disk Warrior is not helping...
    I would really appreciate  any help or advice.
    Rgds,
    Vedran

    No answers in this reply, just questions....
    By "not helping" (sorry for my being dense here...), do you mean that safe boot doesn't work at all, or that it produced incorrect results.  Similarly, do you mean that there are no errors logged by the disk repair operations, that there are errors that are resolved, or that there are errors not being resolved?  If there are diagnostics from these, what are the details of the errors?
    Any external or third-party devices involved here?  Test: disconnect all external hardware except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
    Any RAID controller(s) involved?
    Do the hardware diagnostics report any errors?
    Any third-party devices installed within the Mac Pro system?
    Anything in the startup logs?  (Might have to use target disk mode to get at those...)
    WAG: Tried resetting the SMC?
    As Don Roedl mentions, you may be in line for a reinstallation here.

  • Please clarify the following license issue

    Hello
    Please clarify the following license issue
    Oracle 10g se license requirement while using a power 6 P520 machine with 2-core 4.2 GHz processor card,4 memory DIMM slots. Are we entitled for paying for one oracle 10g SE license?
    many thanks in advance

    When you read through that thread, did you see where I linked to and quoted the licensing definitions
    Processor: shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors) and by your third party users. For the purpose of counting the number of processors which require licensing for a Sun UltraSPARC T1 processor with 4, 6 or 8 cores at 1.0 gigahertz or 8 cores at 1.2 gigahertz for only those servers specified on the Sun Server Table which can be accessed at http://oracle.com/contracts , “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a factor of .25. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for AMD and Intel multicore chips, “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a factor of .50. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for all hardware platforms not otherwise specified in this section, a multicore chip with "n" cores shall be determined by multiplying "n" cores by a factor of .75. All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program for each factor listed below are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number. When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to a socket.
    It appears that you fall under the "not otherwise specified" category because you're not dealing with an UltraSPARC T1 (multiplier 0.25) or an AMD/ Intel chip (multiplier 0.5) so your multiplier would be 0.75.
    0.75 * 2 cores = 1.5 processors which would have to be rounded up to 2 processors. If you had 4 total cores, you would only need a 3 processor license.

  • Failed to retrieve a schema URI (document namespace) for /userprofiles/emailNotification.usr; please see the following exception for details

    I get this exception (and long stack trace) when attempting to start my weblogic server. I'm running Weblogic 7 with Portal 7 (sp 1). I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. I upgraded this application from weblogic portal 4.0, and never had this problem there. As part of the migration process, I ran the tool to migrate all of the database tables, and I re-synched the EBCC project using version 7 of EBCC. I did a search for this problem and found a few mentions of it that seemed to be related to Oracle's handling of CLOB data. Apparently, there is a patch, but I can't seem to find this patch. I'm also not sure if this is indeed the problem since I didn't have this issue with the older version of weblogic using the same database. Any suggestions?

    If you have a support contract please open a case so we can work through
    this problem.
    Can you run an sqlplus session on your database, execute the commands
    "delete from data_sync_item" and "commit", then resync to see if it will
    get you around the problem. The data_sync_item table will be fully
    populated after you sync. This should get you running.
    Between 4.0 and 7.0 the DefaultRequestPropertySet.req file was reduced
    in size -- the CLOB would be smaller in the data_sync_item table.
    I would recommend using the Version Checker against your installation --
    find it on the dev2dev.bea.com site to see if the upgrade installer work
    ed properly. Also consider running the full installer to avoid possible
    problems that might occur with upgrade installers.
    As a result of that patch you referenced in 4.0 the CLOB handling logic
    was changed in 7.0 -- this is why it is strange you are seeing cleaving
    errors. In 7.0 SP2 to be release next week the data sync and
    persistence code was changed also.
    Are you using the OCI or Thin driver?

    Yes
    If you create a new User Profile in the EBCC and compare it to your
    migrated .usr file do you see differences in the DTD's?
    I recreated a new version of the .usr in the EBCC, and still got the same error.
    I also tried deleting everything from the data-sync-item table and re-synching.
