Message is "Warning: bootcode thinks driver is absent". After this message, the box appears to be wedged. After rebooting, it got the same message during fsck. So we installed 9.2 pre-release using a snapshot iso from 7/13/13. Shortly after boot we got the same message. We are now in the process of installing 9.1 release to verify this is a driver issue and not hardware flaking out. Anybody else seen this issue?
