This is a bug in hwinfo (#325175), you're welcome to add local rules for this (just make sure you add them to local-foo instead of foo, then there's no chance of them getting overwritten on upgrade) but I don't feel that adding rules for messages caused by bugs is a good idea.
localhost kernel: BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 2 devices found
I'm assuming that this isn't a startup message.
I don't know what's causing any of them, but they don't seem to be problems. I'm not completely sure about the second two, but I know the first is superfluous. Can these be ignored? Thanks.
I've added the following rules to CVS which match the messages you provided above, they'll be included in the next release:
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.$ ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ kernel: BIOS EDD facility v[.0-9]+ [0-9]+-\w{3}-[0-9]+, [0-9]+ devices found$
