Two boots for OS? (Something about kernel)

I have the latest generation Mac Pro with customized built, 1x 3.33gHz 6-core and 8 Gig of RAM.
Here's something strange happened to me lately... about two weeks ago, the OS X will not load during the first boot. I have mine set at verbose mode so I can see the messages and usually from a cold boot, it will mention something like kernelcache is out of date and the kernal loading is now stopped. It will automatically reboot and then everything went fine as the OS loads up fairly quickly.
Does anyone has any idea on this? I have resetted the SMB/EFI by power cycle but still doing the same.
Thanks guys!
It's not a problem, just annoying
Oh BTW here are the Kernel console logs:

There are a couple hundred kernel extensions. Loading them individually takes too long. So they are put together into a kernel cache and loaded "all at once".
If the timestamp on the kernel cache disagrees with the timestamp on the directory that holds the individual extensions, something has changed -- start over.
If you boot into Safe Mode, this will do one pass of Disk Repair and also cause the loading of a minimal set of extensions. The next time you boot, the kernel cache will be rebuilt properly, and you should live happily ever after... maybe.
If you are booting 10.7 off a RAID Array not created under 10.7, you may continue to be in for a wild ride. Anomalies with installing onto and booting off a RAID Array are all over the early reviews of 10.7.
Consider going back to 10.6, or creating a "normal" boot drive with only System, Applications, Library, and the Hidden Unix files including paging/swap. Move all User files off to another drive except the original Admin user, and use that one only for Administration.
