Well, I´m not even sure if or how much I should be concerned.
I mean, it doesn´t appear to be hindering the functionality of anything 
I do or am doing at the time the message appears.
I wondered if it was a security issue or something....
I just did this fresh install of FC5 last weekend, and have done no updates.
As per usual, I´ve spent most of my copious spare time over the past 
week reconfiguring stuff to my likeing,
adding software (mostly with yum, some just by DL ing the rpms and 
installing myself) that doesn´t come on the install, etc..
But haven´t done a yum update on anything.
I DLed yumex yesterday, and I think it´s choosing to update stuff on 
it´s own....Not sure.
I only like using it because it makes it easy to see what´s on the repo 
and pick stuff up.
(DLed a bunch of nifty games last night! I didn´t even know they existed 
or were available until yumex offered them up.)
Normally I just use yum at the command line, though.
I haven´t seen the msg since last night, so opened up /var/log/msgs in a 
text editor and dug around a bit.
I found the message, and am pasting in a bit before and after...
This is the most recent on I received.  I know I´ve seen irq #16, and at 
least one other number in the past couple of day.
It might be nearly impossible to figure out what I´ve done to affect 
this, after all, I´ve done a lot of configuration.
I believe this started only two or three days ago.
Does this shed some light, perhaps? (it´s as good as Chinese to 
me...which is not one of the languages I speak):
