This is interesting, I used to get them at the end of the device probes
whenever my machine booted.  but when I stopped turning it of at night,
( I have left it running ~2 months now). The error messages stopped.
The last one was on Feb 6, about when I took my machine apart to
install a harddrive.
This is on a DFI 486DX33 machine with 64k cache - 8M.
I have not thought about the error message recently, until these postings.
