Message in dmesg about I2C and NVIDIA

Hello,

Taking a look to the dmesg output, i've found a warning message, that can't figure what it means:

nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module  1.0-9631  Thu Nov  9 17:38:10 PST 2006
**WARNING** I2C adapter driver [NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 1:00.0] forgot to specify physical device; fix it!
**WARNING** I2C adapter driver [NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0] forgot to specify physical device; fix it!
**WARNING** I2C adapter driver [NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0] forgot to specify physical device; fix it!

I think all works fine, but, what does it exactly means? and, some advice to fix it?

thanks!

Re: Message in dmesg about I2C and NVIDIA

After upgrading my 64-bit kernel to 2.6.20.7-1 I also get this message. However, as I my GeForce 4 TI only allows to use nvidias 96xx package, I do not know how to fix it, other than buying a new graphics card.

Is there any other solution?
