Mysterious alert in syslog of an Onyx2

Hi!

In the last times i can find this enty in the syslog of an onyx2 from
time to time:

Oct 18 14:32:33 1A:onyx2 unix: ALERT: /hw/module/1/slot/io1/baseio/pci/7: RAD thread held off for more than 32 mS
Oct 18 14:36:18 1A:onyx2 unix: ALERT: /hw/module/1/slot/io1/baseio/pci/7: RAD thread held off for more than 32 mS

I can't see any malfunction on the system, but because it is an ALERT
it makes me a little nervous...
The device that brings the alert seems to be on the BaseIO-Module, but
i have no idea what it is. The OS is 6.5.21m, here is a complete hinv:

Hmmm... i'm not in singleuser mode and have no octane. But thanks Walter, now i know
it concerns the audio hardware or driver. I don't need the audio hardware on this
machine, so no problem for me. But it would be interesting why this messags appear
from time to time since a view weeks, but never before...
