Only warnings anyway, but I think we all like *clean* boots. A couple of mails with Bartlomiej assured me that it isn't required on modern(ish) machines that have PCI (in theory), so do not need that option. That will stop the probe, and the post from Alan re the Redhat thread suggests it is a debug warning anyway that maybe was never removed.
