Some assorted boot messages from 2.2.0-pre3 (same in pre4 IIANM):

PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

what does this mean?

....

ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe

what's this mean?

*******************

biggie!

hdb: (U)DMA capability is broken for WDC AC33100H
hdb: DMA disabled

What's this mean? I don't remember seeing such a thing in
earlier kernels..... drive seems to work fine when mounted....

*******************

..................

annoying little one, isn't it?:

swapon: can't load library 'libc.so.5'

I suspect maybe the drive's not mounted yet, but I can't figure
out why swapon wants/needs libc.so.5.... just about everything
on the system (RH 5.1) is glibc2.0.7/libc6

~> /sbin/swapon --version
swapon: mount-2.7l
