Hmm...I've noticed this error too in instances when its been time for e2fsck to run during boot-up. IIRC, it even predates my 2.4 series kernel use...i.e. I think it occurred under 2.2.17. LILO version related?--not sure of that either.
But what I can say is that I've never seemed to have the error create any operational problems for me. Yet, now that you mention it, I would be interested in the reason behind this error.
