Kernel Notice Messages
A notice message indicates that an error has occurred that should be monitored.
Shutting down the system is unnecessary, although you may need to take action to
remedy the fault at a later date.

removable media (like a floppy), it may have been removed. Otherwise, there
may be problems with the drive. Kernel error code

indicate a more insidious failure and the disk should be reformatted at the next
reasonable opportunity.
