And her a quote from the patch:
<quote>
-static const char *ecc_warning =
- "WARNING: ECC is disabled by BIOS. Module will NOT be loaded.\n"
- " Either Enable ECC in the BIOS, or set 'ecc_enable_override'.\n"
- " Also, use of the override can cause unknown side effects.\n";
+static const char *ecc_msg =
+ "ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load.\n"
+ " Either enable ECC checking or force module loading by setting "
+ "'ecc_enable_override'.\n"
+ " (Note that use of the override may cause unknown side effects.)\n";

i have the new notice instead of a warning in a 2.6.33 an 34 too ;-) If you had problems with your kernel, these notice does nothing. For me i figured out a timing problem, solved by nolapic_timer. Running a P965BE on a Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P
