# ->I have been getting this unusual problem since late 1.3.x .. it started

# ->any problems, but it is a slight annoyance.
# ->
# ->ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
# ->ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
# ->Partition check:
# -> hda:Started kswapd v 1.4.2.2
# -> hda1 hda2 hda3
# ->VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
#
# What's wrong wiht this? You have 3 hdd's so two eide controllers are in
# use and thus two irq's for them..floppy is not initialized as it is module
# and it is not needed at that point (for example putting my mouse as moule

I believe he's talking about the kswapd message appearing in the
middle of the partition check.
