VFS partition check bug (non fatal)

I have a linux machine with various SCSI disks, and 2 IDE disks. The
first, hda, is set as the master disk on the primary IDE controller.
The second, hdb, is set as the master on the secondary IDE
controller. Once the system is booted, both disks work well. However,
when booting, the messages at the bottom appear, despite the kernel
being booted with the parameter - hdb=noprobe. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
