Comment 1 Dave Jones 2005-01-28 15:10:17 UTC 
this should be fixed in a subsequent errata kernel.
Comment 2 Kiran Rao 2005-01-28 16:01:36 UTC 
But what' the effect of the 2 Warnings? How does it affect operation?
Comment 3 Warren Togami 2005-01-29 02:25:39 UTC 
You need to ask upstream kernel.org this question.  Meanwhile please
test the latest FC3 update kernel.
Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-01-29 03:06:38 UTC 
the powernow error means you won't get variable cpu speed scaling
working.  The vesafb error means you won't get a hi resolution
framebuffer console.
