And her a quote from the patch:
<quote>
-static const char *ecc_warning =
-       "WARNING: ECC is disabled by BIOS. Module will NOT be loaded.\n"
-       " Either Enable ECC in the BIOS, or set 'ecc_enable_override'.\n"
-       " Also, use of the override can cause unknown side effects.\n";
+static const char *ecc_msg =
+       "ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load.\n"
+       " Either enable ECC checking or force module loading by setting "
+       "'ecc_enable_override'.\n"
+       " (Note that use of the override may cause unknown side effects.)\n";
</quote>

i have the new notice instead of a warning in a 2.6.33 an 34 too ;-) If
you had problems with your kernel, these notice does nothing. For me i
figured out a timing problem, solved by nolapic_timer. Running a P965BE
on a Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P
