The message just says that the kernel suport for NCR* is compiled in (not in module). So, unless you recompile the kernel without the NCR* support, you'd get the message again and again. This is quite normal, the rescue disk should support certain disk controllers and NICs (and other add-on cards), so that during the installation, the kernel would detect all (plausible) machine configurations. Consider all those messages you don't like as a challenge; the question is, how to get rid all of those. It's good that you don't like them, because unused code would stay on memory filling things up; having a kernel that really suits your system would mean that your system is well tuned-up, IMHO. BTW, to conquer the challenge begins with: "make menuconfig" (done in /usr/src/linux). Oki
