This is just the driver for the HighPoint Rocket Raid controller being
a bit too verbose. It's detected that you don't have anything compatible=
with hptrr(4) and (unlike the usual behaviour of most Raid Controller
drivers (or drivers for any sort of hardware really)) it considers this=20
fact to be of such vital importance that it really had to print out
something on the console. Needless to say such behaviour has already bee=
n=20
quashed in 7-STABLE and will not appear in 7.1-RELEASE.
In other words, it's harmless and you can just ignore it. =20
I suspect that this output wasn't actually triggered by your changing
the console setting -- there's no conceivable way changing one should
affect the other -- but that changing the way the boot messages are=20
displayed has managed to draw your attention to it. You probably had it=20
before but never noticed.
Cheers,
Matthew
