They're actually all complaining about the Spanish gnome-panel .omf
file.  It's fixed upstream and will be in the next build.

You didn't get labels?  This is a case that udev is going to help with
(which is why I haven't done much to work around it otherwise).  On my
test box where this happens, things work fine with the exception of my
swap (which is unlabeled) doesn't get found properly.  Are you using any
RAID or LVM?

Went ahead and committed the fix for this already :)
