Hi,

this is:
block-major-72 Compaq Intelligent Drive Array, first controller

if you don't use it modify /etc/modules.conf

and run depmod -a

Hi Filiberto,

I currently have a call open with HP about this issue which should be fixed sooner or later, until then the workaround provided by Slawomir Gora is their current recommended workaround.

Filiberto,
modify /etc/modules.conf:
alias block-major-xx off
where xx is 72-79 and 105-111. Check /usr/shard/doc/MAKEDEV-3.3/devices.txt. The hpasm modules generate error messages when they try to monitor non-existing hardware.
