During boot I have also three times:
[ 3.957974] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through

[ITec (itec)]

Affects also Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha-3 in a virtual machine (Vmware Server 1.0.9) under Ubuntu 8.04

Last message during boot:
"ACPI: I/O resource piix4_smbus [0x1040-0x1047] conflicts with ACPI region SMB_ [0x1040-0x104b]."

Any solutions?
