You know, I saw this error message on a 7.3-installed kernel myself, but
it boots just fine.  I haven't been following the valhalla-list enough
to know if this is common or not.  Few if any modules actually need to
be built into the kernel to work, so I doubt it.  If you see that it
loads and initializes the SCSI controller, then that's likely not your
problem.  Is that the last kernel message you see?

H. L. Mencken suffers from the hallucination that he is H. L. Mencken --
there is no cure for a disease of that magnitude.
