When booting and during shutdown, I get the following on my Debian box:

The only thing I remember doing is upgrading my kernel – uname -r returns 2.6.6-1-686 (from unstable).

Note that my _dev_hdc is a Maxtor 120G drive!

Possibly <=, but at least both 6Y120P0 (120G, 8M cache) en 6Y120L0
(120G, 2M cache) are affected. Experiencing it myself on 6Y120P0.

These warnings are _harmless_.

Ok...
