[Solved] 'New' error messages during init after updating initscripts

Question

After updating to the latest initscripts, I got some error messages during init that I hadn't seen before.  They occurred during one of the UDev steps, and were caused by an attempt to load an IDE module despite the controller being disabled.  The controller shows up in Windows devmgr too, so I guess it's a failing of the mobo or BIOS.
In any case, I downgraded and found that the errors were nothing new.  I'm just curious if the appearance of the errors during init was by design or a happy accident.

I had never noticed the file before yesterday, actually. And I'm up-to-date, yet it's still full of 'em.
You need to reboot.
After you do, run
tail /var/log/boot
Mine isn't perfect, but I've already sent an e-mail to the dev (it's a matter of just a sed oneliner)
[karol@black ~]$ tail /var/log/boot
