No, other then the warning from this debug code I do not have any problems.

As I'm using Gentoo unstable this is triggered most often when I
install an upgrade to some package.
I would expect, if this really would write wrong data to the harddisk,
I would have already destroyed my system.

So while I think there is a problem somewhere that should be fixed,
I'm still using the .30 kernel for my system.
