Got the server set up using the asus WSPro board. It seems stable, booted up no problem on my first go at the bios setup. Made the mistake of getting a PCE-e GFX card which blocks off one of the PCI-X slots. Did a filesystem check and repair which seems to have recovered all my data which i'm over the moon about.
I've looked at the log file and the only thing that worries me is the last bit.

Any comments on whether this is a problem, and if so any remedies.
I'm using an old 3.5" 20 gig drive as the boot device, not sure what ATA rating it is.
TIA
