Error in boot screen

[Kurt Wall]

Scribbling feverishly on April 20, Brian Witowski managed to emit:

Actually, the message is "ds: no socket drivers loaded!". Anyway,
it comes out of the PCMCIA subsystem ($KERNSRC/drivers/pcmcia/ds.c,
bo be exact), so, if you don't need PCMCIA, don't load those modules. 
Otherwise, it is harmless, but annoying.

This is a Red Hat-ism, I believe. Please post /etc/sysconf.log.
