Folks, I have never seen anything like this before but so far it has happened twice after installation. I installed Debian on a zx6000 and it was at kernel 2.4.17. I downloaded the source from kernel.org and the patch and recompiled. After recompiling the source and rebooting I got error messages logged to the screen in the following manner. These are all examples, each error varies greatly.

Any assistance with suppressing these errors (or direction as to what they are caused by OR if they are important) would be great. Cheers, Adam -- Adam Parrish Asst.
