Yes, they just warn you that in sysfs tree i2c buses for your monitors will appear under platform and not under your g550 device in device tree. There is no functionality impact. Problem is fixed in 2.6.21-rc1 and newer kernels. Petr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
