[gentoo-user] Kernel error messages: gentoo-sources 2.6.13-r5

When I boot I get several kinds of error messages. My system runs okay, but
I'd like confirmation or information that I do/don't need to fix something.

1) My 2-channel SCSI card (39160): should I worry about "unable to reserve"
or "already in use"?

PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:01.0 (0116 -> 0117)
PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #2:1000@fc200000 for device 0000:03:01.0
aic7xxx: <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> at PCI 3/1/0
aic7xxx: I/O ports already in use, ignoring.
PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:01.1 (0116 -> 0117)
PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #2:1000@fc201000 for device 0000:03:01.1
aic7xxx: <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> at PCI 3/1/1
aic7xxx: I/O ports already in use, ignoring.


2) The init scripts complain that the system doesn't support DEVFS or UDEV,
but
a) I thought I *did* have UDEV; I remember a big deal about converting to
it.
b) at the moment, I can't remember how I got it, and don't see an option for
it
in the kernel config. Where is it, or where else would it be?
This message comes out during init scripts, but before logging starts, so I
don't
have the exact text.

3) Sound: I get this message, but sound works okay. Is it a problem? Can I
or
should I make the message go away? I have run alsamixer, and set all sliders
in the green.

Oct 30 13:14:23 treat rc-scripts: Could not detect custom ALSA settings.
Loading all detected alsa drivers.

Please advise.

There is no kernel option for udev.  Make sure that the file 
/dev/.devfsd does not exist.  If this file exists, /sbin/rc will disable 
udev.

Run "alsaconf" and save the results when prompted.

This changed things, but not for the better. See below.

I got rid of the file, and now X cannot see my mouse, and refuses to start.
I think the problem is that it used to be /dev/mouse and is now
/dev/input/mouse0
or some such. I'm not sure. I don't know where the Xorg config file is,
so I don't know what to change. (I used to know when I used XFree, but
I didn't track the whole switchover).

I never get prompted. It just says everything's okay, and quits. The message
remains.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
You might want to try /dev/input/mice
Here is the section out of my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier    "Mouse1"
    Driver    "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "ChordMiddle"

Thanks. That got X working again, although it turned out that I have no
xorg.conf although there *is* and xorg.conf.example. The file I wound
up changing was XF86Config!!! But I'm definitely using xorg.

I suppose this is a last-ditch attempt to start that's used when the
regular config file is not found.

Now back to tracking down the other errors.

X.Org uses the XFree86 config file if it can't find its own. If you are no
longer going to use XFree86 you may as well rename that file to xorg.conf
to avoid any future confusion.
