Alex, first let me quote from Thomas reply to you recently

"Alex,
If you post a message on a new topic to this list, then please start a
new email thread instead of replying to an old thread that deals with a
different topic."

For those of us who use a reasonable email reader, we can see the  
different discussions in threads. It is slightly irritating that you  
do not start a new thread.

Anyway, the error comes from the fact that you need a probe package  
in order to run GCRMA and appearently no-one has supplied that  
package to Bioconductor.

It seems as if the high throughput array may have special issues,  
which I don't know anything about.
