I never gave them a second thought because I never had a problem with the PCMCIA slots. I don't think they are errors, and if they are, I hope someone will advise. BTW, this shows up on RH8 and RH9 on my system. I do know that on FC1, if you happen to have a card IN the slot (in my case it would be a network card), then the boot will hang. This issue has been batted around with solutions having to do with BIOS updates. The fix, from what I recall of the postings, sounded worse than the problem, so I never pursued it. Is this what's going on? If you successfully fsck the disk, I've never known of a situation where the disk remains corrupted. But you might have a corrupted file from the yenta package (do an rpm search for yenta* to make sure you get the name right). Fsck will make the filesystem sound, but it can trash individual files in the process.
