I can give you more info if you want it, but if there is not an
obvious solution to the problem, for now can you at least let me know
if the warnings are harmless or not. (I want to upgrade from 2.6.10 ->
2.6.16, but not if it would be bad.)

Also, if you want me to do any kind of debugging I will, but I
wouldn't know where to start on my own.
