0) Running v2.6.39-rc4 I ran into this (after a resume):

(2.6.39-0.rc4.4.fc14.x86_64 is not a Fedora blessed kernel, but a self
compiled "vanilla" kernel.) I have similar WARNINGs for rc2 and rc3 in
my log too.

1) The thing is that this triggers Fedora's "Automatic Bug Reporting
Tool", and is a bit noisy in dmesg and friends too, but everything seems
to be running just fine after that. I'm posting this from the session
that just triggered this! So why is this warning needed?
