[Bug 561126] Re: WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.31/fs/buffer.c:1152 mark_buffer_dirty+0x70/0x90()

[Bryan Hoyt]

Hi, I actually just submitted this report because the system asked me
to! The red kerneloops icon popped up in my notification area, I clicked
on it, and it said there had been some sort of error.

It didn't cause any problems I'm aware of, except it's not particularly
nice to get warnings about errors you know nothing about! Is my system
failing? etc.

Yes, it's been a problem since then. The icon keeps popping up, usually
shortly after a reboot. I just click cancel to make it go away.

I haven't updated my system for a while.

However, perhaps the best way to fix this bug properly (seeing as I'm
unable to describe what the real bug was) is to make the actual error
message a little more specific, and a little more helpful for a non-
technical user.

(I happen to be a fairly technical user, but I still really like non-
technical messages, because I'm no kernel guru!)
