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.
