Is anyone else seeing this? I have been getting these errors throughout much of the 2.5 development cycle. I am not sure when the problem started, since I have had a lot of trouble getting most of the 2.5 series kernels to build.

More importantly, a large chunk of the startup messages are lost, including most of the early kernel log messages. This makes it quite hard to know whether my drivers and kernel are loading and working properly.
Note that when I watch the machine booting, it appears that all the correct stuff still gests dumped to the console terminal.
