I used to get this too when i moved to 2.2.18, disappeared soon
magically... ignorance is bliss :)

But when I went looking for solutions a lot of stuff pointed to a package
magicdev under RH systems (which made little sense in Debian). Most of the
recommended advice i found was along the lines of:

  rpm -e --force --nodeps magicdev



Also, the file /var/log/dmesg contains the output of dmesg just after the
system booted.
