Hi Brad,
I had these errors for some time. I found that if i compiled my kernel
with the "Use multimode by default" option under IDE configuration. They
disapeared.
However, debians standard kernel does have this option by default
(2.4.18-bf24 atleast) so if you are running something other than that i
suggest giving that a shot.
Hope it helps
