Matthias,

I have filed a bug, hesistant at first to report it. I have found two workarounds to avoid seeing the message ``One or more disks are failing''
1) run KDE
2) disable it from starting up in the session manager :)

BUG is here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498115

I will see if I can supply developers with information.  See below NOTE with***

***NOTE*** I might not be able to respond quickly to mails suggesting more info.  My rawhide machines are at school and they might close due to the SWINE FLU. Upon further notice. A double WHAMMY since we are also administering STATEWIDE TAKS EXAMS. Thank you for your consideration. 

Regards,

Antonio
