It would be nice if you specify what distro you are using.

Here's a possible solution:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/...d=5046&start=0

Also, does this cause any problems ? Other than printing this line on the screen at startup ? Usually it means nothing and causes no problems.

In addition to identifying the distro, I think you will need to tell us what you were doing when you got this message.
