It has nothing to do with the startup sequence. The 2.2.x (and 2.1.x) have
introduced another interface to report about the PCI bus devices on your
system. Kernels prior to 2.1.x used /proc/pci to publish this information in a
textual form, while the >=2.1.x kernels have /proc/bus/pci interface which
exports that data in a binary form which is translated into human-readable
data using the pciutils package. /proc/pci can be compiled into kernel for
compatibility reasons, but the kernel can complain about some program using an
obsolete interface, as it did in your case.

Oh, there is. Just put an executable script in /etc/init.d. For your
convenience, there's a skeleton file in /etc/init.d/skeleton which you can use
as a template for a properly constructed startup file.
