I disagree about the "Low Importance" of this. For many ThinkPad users like myself our first impression of Karmic is a pop-up stating your kernel has encountered a "serious error" and that the system may be unstable and may need to be shutdown. This is due an otherwise harmless warning from the ibm-acpi driver, which triggers this scary message on a daily message for us.
To me it seems very important that warnings should be handled differently. Warnings may be just that-- a warning. It is in appropriate to treat them the as "serious error" that "may require a restart". Here's a related bug about the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430361 You can see that there were were about 20 duplicate bug reports filed about this even before Karmic was officially released. -- Kernel oops dialog is inconsistent with kerneloops semantics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
