I do apologize to everyone on this list for not thoroughly checking  
the FAQ.

I opt to live with the warnings and not bother modifying code. My  
only hangup is that this problem is a new one since having fixed the  
code with the fix from

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-April/ 
084211.html

That fix was in April. I had a solid whole month without any of these  
messages, and then they appear right around when I updated my 5.4- 
STABLE installation. I suppose the older installs could have  
suppressed these messages completely while the new one defaults to 5.  
Does anyone have any idea if this is true? I imagine it is highly  
possible that it has had the hardware glitches all along and the only  
thing that has changed is how -STABLE deals with it.

Thanks for the assistance.
