Thanks Vincent, we'll get this sorted out shortly.

Comment 2 Kalev Lember 2011-05-25 03:36:27 UTC
Ludovic: In addition to the log level patch in bug #657658, could you also apply this one? I'll then backport both patches to Fedora.

Just on an added side note.  When using VMware workstation on Fedora 15 and you present the card reader into the VM the system logs the same errors at an obnoxious level, almost to the point of completely taxing a SSD drive and freezing the system.
