When the SCSI CD-ROM driver (Linux kernel, file sr.c) calls "int scsi_register_driver(struct device_driver *drv)" (file scsi_sysfs.c) this function then calls "int driver_register(struct device_driver * drv)" (file driver.c). And here this warning message is printed. I assume that there was a clean-up in the kernel and the SCSI subsystem guys have not caught up yet. So this is not really a bug but a temporary annoyance. This needs to go upstream and not to Gentoo. Yep. If it bothers you, see if it's fixed in 2.6.25-rc and if not, send a mail to the linux-scsi mailing list. It's not an error message. Thanks for reporting anyway! A workaround is to enable CONFIG_PM_LEGACY. My system this bug is much more severe as it causes a panic and the / not to mount. must be a different bug where this harmless and unrelated message appears approximately at the same time, feel feel to open a new bug report |
