This happens to me occasionaly: Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: hda: ST51080A, 1033MB w/128kB Cache, LBA, CHS=2100/16/63 Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: hdc: CS-R36 0, ATAPI CDROM drive Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: Partition check: Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: hda:Started kswapd v 1.4.2.2 Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: [PTBL] [525/64/63] hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 Nov 3 10:38:30 localhost kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

It causes no problems..... If it bugs you so much, just don't look at the screen when ya boot up ;>
