F16: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

Since having upgraded to F16 from F14, I am drowning in messages similar 
to the one below on the console (corrupting any console output)

[ 1400.353433] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
[ 1400.356601] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

accompanied by a message similar to the one in /var/log/messages 
(gradually filling it up)

[ 1400.351374] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
[ 1400.353433] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
[ 1400.356601] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

Does anybody know a workaround/fix to prevent the kernel from issuing 
them rsp. at least to prevent them to pollute the console?

[This machine (a netbook) only has one hard disk. sdb seems to refer to 
the builtin usb card reader.]
