Hmmm, I observe similar messages when - scsi low-level driver (eg. sd, sr, st) linked to the kernel, - no appropriate (corresponding to any of the above drivers) devices found on the hostadapters which have support linked to the kernel. I don't think it is driver-specyfic. As I looked at the code it would be difficult to avoid them (unless a linked-to-the-kernel function is able to detect whether it is called from __init code or from a module initialization code). -- ======================================================================= Andrzej M.
