Ive been plauged with this since I started my linux experiment 6 months ago.....
on bootup Im presented non-fatal but annoying errors pertaining to: ich2rom,jdec not valid ich2rom device. failed to insert ich2rom device....then I get this :
dmesg ouput follows:
acpci_hotplug: CompactPCI Hot Plug Core version: 0.2
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5
shpchp: acpi_shpchprm:\_SB_.PCI0 evaluate _BBN fail=0x5
shpchp: acpi_shpchprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x5
pciehp: acpi_pciehprm:\_SB_.PCI0 evaluate _BBN fail=0x5
pciehp: acpi_pciehprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x5
shpchp: acpi_shpchprm:\_SB_.PCI0 evaluate _BBN fail=0x5
shpchp: acpi_shpchprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x5
pciehp: acpi_pciehprm:\_SB_.PCI0 evaluate _BBN fail=0x5
pciehp: acpi_pciehprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x5
hw_random: RNG not detected



so being as this appears to be a hotplug problem I decided on a brute force method to resolve it I removed hotplug...ok no errors on boot BUT I cant start x because : failed to initiate core pointer cant open /dev/input/mouse or /ps2/mouse ( not exact error but damn close) I would like to elimate the errors help...

Ive also removed the various culprits from by doing a locate shpchprm then deleting them still get the errors

Those errors are some kind of kernel bug,I got it with a 2.6.9 kernel and now seems to be fixed with the new 2.6.10.Never seemed to affect anything.Try this for the mouse;
Thats for a wheel mouse.

thanx but the mouse is fine as long as hotplug is there IF I remove hotplug I remove the errors and the mouse
