That's fine if you see the message, which you should, and the system does not suffer an unplanned reboot, which it shouldn't. But leaving a system in a state that won't reboot following a crash or power failure is not particularly clever, making the warnings fatal sounds a safe default to me. As this is Gentoo there will always be a way to turn the airbags off and even disable the brakes :) -- Neil Bothwick Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.
