Hum... that's normal since this line is in the kernel sources. There no
way to remove it except recompiling your kernel sources. I can't tell you
in which file you have to comment the line, since it does not appear again

It's not typical experience. Timeouts are normal at the startup, when the
adsl line get synchronised. But that's all. Strange ...
