Unknown error (or warning) seen while the system boot.


This is a part of the message I received. I don't know what is wrong.
Can any of you let me know what was wrong, or at least how to find out what was wrong?

(I showed here part of my output of dmesg)

I got the same "error", but I think it is a module that don't match or something, but the system seems to be ok, don't?

Only for your happiness, you are not the only one with this issue!

I hope to resolve this soon, or at least find out the problem..

Bye.

Have a look at Changes_and_Hints.txt:

"As stated earlier, it is recommended that you use one of the generic kernels
rather than the huge kernels; the huge kernel is primarily intended as
an "installer" and "emergency" kernel in case you forget to make an initrd.
However, if you do use one of the huge kernels, you will likely encounter
errors like this:
kobject_add failed for uhci_hcd with -EEXIST, don't try to register
These occur because the respective drivers are compiled statically into the
huge kernels but udev tries to load them anyway. These errors should be safe
to ignore, but if you really don't want them to appear, you can blacklist the
modules that try to load in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. However, make sure you
remove them from the blacklist if you ever decide to use the (recommended)
generic kernels." "

So if you install generic kernel instead of huge, the error should be gone.

Yes, there is a reason that the Release Notes and other documentation are placed on the cd images... :-)
