Hi,

My system appears to work properly, but I keep getting the following messages on boot up. How do I get rid of them?

Thanks!

These messages indicate that "something" is requesting support for a module that does not exist.

In your case, I believe it is the HP storage agent looking for cpqarray and additional instances of cciss. You can ignore them.

If you want, you can turn them off by adding lines like the following to /etc/modules.conf:

alias block-major-105 off
alias block-major-106 off
alias block-major-107 off

You can also look in the following file, it shows a complete list of the various devices.
