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

[Kevin O'Gorman]

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:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
