The installation is much cleaner for the Blue and White using the
latest kernel available at:
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/kernels/blueg3/vmlinux

Make sure you're using the latest Blue and White G3 kernel available at
the ftp address I mentioned before. Let me know if the warning goes away.
