Same here; fortunately a recent linux-kernel message had a hint---apparently
it's something to do with the parallel port. I set mine to SPP in the
BIOS and all was well. (There were also a number of strange probes
for /dev/hd{e,f,g,h,i,j,k}---these also went away after selecting
SPP.)
Perhaps these BIOSes uses the CMOS locations in an unconventional way.
There were many choices for parallel-port mode, some with what
looked like version numbers: something like EPP1.7, ECPEPP1.9,
and so forth. I need only SPP so haven't looked deeper.
