Did you retype this? Or did it really say "HEOM"? If that's not a typo,
you may want to check for RAM errors.

I spoke with someone the other day who had that exact same message, and
it was due to either a Firewire controller in the BIOS, or a USB card
reader. They disabled both at the same time, and the message went away.

That appears to be the CAM subsystem probing for root-capable devices,
from what I found via Google the other day.
