IIRC these are unimplemented syscalls. When i ran a 2.0.3x kernel i got those
messages sometimes as well. Since the switch to 2.2 kernels these messages
disappeared. Upgrading your kernel or ignoring these messages are both
solutions to your problems. Earlier posts about this problem suggested no
harmfull behaviour (I never had problems with 2.0.3x kernels with those
messages as well, but YMMV).
