Please attach a log or photograph of this in context.

This would be useful, too.

Good to know.  We don't support kernels other than 2.6.32.y, 3.2.y,
and 3.4.y at the moment (and 3.2.y is most interesting since it is
what will be part of wheezy), but it's useful to know when the problem
first arrived.

Hope that helps,
