I noticed a couple of messages booting the new 3.2.2 kernel:
(I) watchdog: ---------------------

There's some more discussion about this here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133083&p=1 It seems fairly harmless, from my reading of this thread, and is to do with the kernel not supporting more than one watchdog device. You can blacklist one or the other module if you prefer one watchdog over the other, as far as I understand it. Pete.
