I don't get that message, AFAIK. It sounds to me like your udev and=20 kernel version may be getting a bit out of sync. I'm on ~amd64 (and=20 working on ~x86 for my AA1 netbook I'm finally doing the Gentoo install=20 on...), and always run at least the latest release kernel, 2.6.32 ATM, if= =20 I'm not testing live git kernels. As such I'm running udev-149 presently= . The emerge --info gave the OP's kernel as 2.6.30 (which is long ago=20 history for me), and udev-146-r1 is the latest amd64 stable but there are= =20 older ones in the tree and it might not be updated to the latest. I'd=20 suggest updating to at least that if you haven't already, and perhaps=20 considering ~arch, and see if that gets rid of the messages. It could also be hdparm or the like, if you have it set to run as a=20 system service. epkginfo says hdparm-9.20 is latest stable. Running=20 ~amd64, I'm running hdparm-9.27. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
