Hi,

today's git checkout boots fine on powerpc32, but has this message during 
bootup:

The system is running fine so far and has before with 3.2.0-rc7, without 
that warning. The "vgchange" could be the result of some LVM2 initscripts 
(lvm2-2.02.66-5 are installed on this Debian/stable system), but there are 
no LVM disks anywhere on the system.

Full .config & dmesg: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/3.2.0/

Is this BUG something to worry about?

Thanks,
Christian.
