Could you test to confirm this? If you can find a convenient moment to
perform the procedure in my bug report to check (see URL below), that'd be a
great help!

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25379

Basically, just stop Netatalk, remove the AppleTalk module from the kernel,
re-insert it and re-start Netatalk. The warning only occurs upon loading of
the kernel module, y'see.

BTW, have you experienced any troubles at all with the 2.2.17 kernel? I want
to upgrade my servers if it cures the small Netatalk problem, but I'm
slightly suspicious as to it's quality - aren't odd-numbered kernel releases
supposed to be testing releases? Or is it just the secondary version number?

Regards,
