Strange error on start up - appleir No inputs registered, leaving

Question

Not a total newbie as I run Arch perfectly fine on my Macbook. I decided to install arch linux on my old early 2006 iMac as I already run it on my laptop, and I like to have the two systems with matching OSs.
I get this strange message every time I bootup, even from USB/DVD. It reads "appleir (Bunch of numbers): No inputs registered, leaving". I know its the IR receiver in the mac, but no where online points me towards a way of stopping it. If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell. It is very annoying at startup but goes after it says the message ~8 times.

Answer 1

The reason the employee gets this error even though this manager
is no more the supervisor, is because of the fact that the Employee's
all leave requests are again validated which he requested and all
consistency checks are performed in which probably his old request
contained this manager and has been checked for it.
You can only suppress this message if you want to  in
SPRO to suppress the error message   under ESS->Service Specific
Settings->Leave Request->Processing Processes->Configure Output
ie in table HRWEV_TRANS_MESS.
Message : Type HRTIM_ABS_REQ
check this in se91
If the options in this Customizing settings are not sufficient for your
you can use the MODIFY_APPLICATION_MESSAGES
method of the PT_GEN_REQ Business Add-In to further refine the message m
As standard leave request function, every employee and manager should
have IT0105/0001 records without delimited, who have leave request.
Also kindly check if IT0007 is maintained for the new manager and apply
the Note 1088131 and 1168656
