hey all, I love it when experts give vague answers. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/6/45
Apparently, from what I read, this is an issue with the newer kernels. It's some debugging "feature" that they have implemented for some reason or another. I believe this was an issue in the 2.6.8 kernel but not on debian's version from source. I know that this issue is present in the 2.6.11 version on both debian and the main kernel. So I'm thinking the kernel needs these modules, so if you don't want to see the error messages, just compile them into the kernel, not as modules. In my uninformed opinion, this is kinda a cop out, but I don't pretend to understand all the work that goes on behind these kernels, and I'm sure they are doing their best. So I can live with those annoying messages.
