Some 2.6 Kernel Questions

[hyp_spec]

...well rather... one question, i've noticed when my system starts up i get this rather interesting error regarding my cdroms

ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdc: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0
hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)

ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdd: HL-DT-ST GCE-8483B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 0
hdd: ATAPI 48X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)


HDC is a DVD-rom, HDD is a CD-RW, this error doesnt occur on 2.4.x

Slackware 9.1/kernel 2.6.0/Dimension 4600

well i have another question, do the drives mount and still work? don't know why its saying that, but i just wanted to know. and if it does work still, as they say "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"

the drives work fine on 2.6 but not -mm1, i just dont like seeing error messages in dmesg hahaha... and in the kernel config, if I enable 'use multi-mode by default' the error comes up constantly
