None of > it seems incorrect, but is customary to edit out the offending code? This is normal. Your kernel supports a lot of hardware you don't have, and it's just telling you what it found and what it didn't find. If you don't like it, you can build a custom kernel which supports exactly what you have. It will have the additional advantage of being fractionally smaller and booting faster (because it doesn't spend time looking for devices which aren't there). Greg
