Hi,

After upgrading to kernel 2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.x86_64 the messages below
keep appearing in "/var/log/messages".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Output from  "sginfo -i  /dev/sg18" shows

Command Queueing                   0

This is an unused SATA chipset on a the motherboard, no
devices are plugged into it.

Also oddly I am getting

[root at mach~]# sginfo -r
/dev/scanner-sg18 /dev/scanner /dev/sdb /dev/sda

"/dev/sdb" and "/dev/sda" are HD's no idea what "/dev/scanner" is?

[root at mach~]# sginfo /dev/scanner
INQUIRY response (cmd: 0x12)

There is no scanner attached to this machine so I am confused at the 
above output.
