I too am seeing the exact same thing. I had just installed the new
2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp kernel in preparation to get my FC5 box
completely up to date before upgrading to FC6. I had previously
been running with 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp and had not seen
this error. This error on reboot appears to only happen with this
new 2200 kernel, and it happens even with full power down and
power up, and is repeatable.
Despite having to wait 30 seconds or so for these errors to time
out, the system fully boots with all devices appearing to be fully
operational.
My system is a Dell Optiplex Gx270.
IDE0 has one drive,
hda: Maxtor 6Y080L0
IDE1 has two drives
hdc: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B
hdd: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-252S
And the PCI information for the IDE buses:
