I reboot my fedora 17. During the reboot I have both my Alpha AWUS036NHR card and my Verbatim external HDD pluged on usb ports. After the reboot the alpha card failed to connect on Wireless and I unplug it and the warning appears. Package: kernel OS Release: Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
The problem happened just after reboot, with no significant user processes. There is a Kensington PocketMouse Bluetooth device paired with the machine. This is the only recent change to the machine's hardware. I also just updated to a new kernel. Package: kernel Architecture: i686 OS Release: Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
System asked to load patches and I told it ok. The error came up at or near the end of the patch process. Package: kernel OS Release: Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
Are you still seeing this with 3.7.9 or 3.8.2 in updates-testing?
Yes it still happens with 3.8.3
