Currently, what I am doing is turning off the syslog daemon. This is probably too dramatic, but is there anyway to ask FC not to check the VPD key?

However, in checking the dmesg file, I found the following repeated error message:
eth0: -- ERROR -- Class: internal Software error Nr: 0x19e Msg: Vpd: Cannot read VPD keys
In /etc/syslog.conf, there are the following two lines: | # Everybody gets emergency messages | *.emerg *
What happens if you comment out the second line? Or, better still, change the last asterisk to something like /var/log/emerg ? (And truncate that file occasionally?)
This is only a workaroung. It's not a fix. But it looks like the bug is in the BIOS, at a quick glance.
