Merely a warning to my fellow Nvidia travellers running 2.6.15-rc3

[Bob Gill <gillb4@telusplanet.net>]

This error message is merely a warning to my fellow Nvidia travellers.  
Posts have already been sent to people who have the source code to fix 
this, and this message is merely information for Nvidia users.  If you 
are an Nvidia user trying to use 2.6.15-rc3 with the 7667 driver, beware 
that the following can occur:

.............as a result, its best to stick with with 2.6.15-rc2-git5 
till a new driver comes out.

Thanks,
