Description Stuart Hayes 2004-11-29 16:30:41 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET 
CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
After booting a Dell PE2650 with RHEL4 beta2, dmesg has the following 
messages:

"scb2_flash: warning - can't reserve rom window, continuing
CFI: Found no SCB2 BIOS Flash device at location zero
scb2_flash: flash probe failed!" 

Hardware configuration:
2* 2.4 Ghz /12GB memory /PERC3Di/PERC4DC/Intel1000MT/2*BCM570X/AIC-
39160.

This problem was found by one of our test groups.  I haven't 
personally had a chance to look at it yet, but I suspect this is a 
message that is printed when the kernel is probing for a certain 
flash device that isn't supposed to be in the system... not sure why 
it is so verbose with the messages if this is something that isn't in 
most systems.
