Hi I can confirm this:
Upon completing upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy RC 1, the kernel log filled with the following. Could freak some new users out if they are confronted with this on install / upgrade (although it may not happen with a new install). As Guenther stated, removing evms and dependencies (evms-ncurses in my case) solved the problem (which I found via a ubuntu forums post on a WinXP machine as my system was unusable) log example, note the times.

The simple fix may be to remove evms on upgrade ?? -- evms broke the upgrade from feisty to gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151978 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
