(initramfs) Assuming drive cache: write through

[Michael Varre]

Pardon me for jumping in on this thread with my own question, however i have
similari messages in all my 6.06 and 8.04 LTS servers.  The only thing is
that all my ubuntu systems, approximately 20, run on VMware ESX 3.5 as
virtual hosts.  I assumed this message was simply due to the fact that I
dont have physical drives attached to the ubuntu host, thus i have no drive
cache that ubuntu is aware of....at least from the hosts perspective.

Am I right on here?  And if i am, Derek, then I would assume that it is just
that your drive is not getting its cache recognized properly?
