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
I saw this error on a system after installing FC6 on a Dell Optiplex
gx280, the BIOS rev is A08. It has an IDE hard drive and a DVD burner. I
am not at it right now and it is used for XP. The install was just to
see if it would take. I saw the same error you mention and things seemed
to be working properly, though I was not in the installation that long.
I have another system, a Dell Optiplex gx270 with two SATA drives and no
IDE drives. It also has a CDROM reader and a DVD+R recorder. I did not
see this error on the machine. I was running the 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp
kernel. The error must be related to the dell controller and IDE drives
on my guess.
