All,

Ditto a T41 running fc7 and a custom kernel with no USB connections.

I'm loading thinkpad_acpi using /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.

On a few occasions, during boot, I get a number of messages like this:

hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 3

Going through dmesg on those occasions, I have this:

thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.14
thinkpad_acpi: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/">http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/</a>
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad EC firmware 1RHT71WW-3.04
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 3
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 4
hub 3-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 3-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 3
hub 3-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 3-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1

The machine is a T40. I've also got Zenwalk 4.8 installed, which uses the 
same level of kernel, though I've never seen the same message when it 
boots.

I see similar messages on SuSE 10.3 on a T41, though only once and only ports
2,3,4.  They weren't there on SuSE 10.0.

I ain't worrying.
