According to http://nslug.ns.ca/pipermail/nslug/2014-January/026056.html the warning seems to be about a problem with kernels <2.4.9 So either the warning should just be dropped, rephrased, or we find out why it is occurring randomly even today. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
