Here is a reply from the chkrootkit.org people:
	if you try this command: "find /proc" you have get same
	message, "fd" is your floppy drive and if not have diskette
	on unit, you get this message.

So I tried something. As root, in /etc created a new directory called
cron.special, moved chkrootkit.sh from cron.daily the cron.special. Added
cron.special to crontab to run at 05:00. Unfortunately, that didn't solve
the problem, still getting the error. Will keep digging and see what I come
up with.
