I am using the latest kadischi to build a LiveCD on FC6. When booting the kernel, the LiveCD reports errors as follows:

Loading ATA modules

FATAL: Module ata_generic not found

FATAL: Module pata_ali not found

…

And about 30 other PATA modules.

The error seems benign as it finishes booting successfully. Is there a way to get rid of these error messages?

Starting with Fedora 7, these ATA modules are needed to drive important motherboard ATA chipsets. Fedora Core 6 doesn't require this, and the modules of course do not exist in Fedora Core 6 kernels either.

To get rid of the messages, just edit your kadischi/linuxrc/livecd-linuxrc file from a CVS checkout
and remove the ATA module loading section.

If you have Kadischi already compiled and installed, edit your /usr/share/kadischi/initrd/livecd-linuxrc script and remove the same ATA module loading section. If you did not pass any prefix to autogen.sh and compiled straight from CVS, your installation will be in /usr/local/share/kadischi/ otherwise the
previously mentioned paths should work for you.

Since this is more of a cosmetic issue, I did not put any script-fu into the NASH script to only load the modules if they exist, I do not expect it to change from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 so they simply
do not exist, and of course do not get loaded for Fedora Core 6.
