The last message means the driver won't be able to work at optimal 
speed, using DMA.  Fixing this could be relatively simple, if you 
provide the output of PCITools.Scan.

This is normal.  When shutting down cleanly (e.g. using Ctrl-Alt-Del), 
the current map of in-use disk blocks is written to disk.  At the next 
startup it will be read again, and disk garbage collection can be 
skipped, to speed up booting.  This message means the on-disk index was 
not up-to-date, so a GC has to be done.

This is the GC being done...
