This is strange indeed, but as far as I know it's a normal kernel
message, not really a bug.

I verified this, but the .desktop file does contain the translations.
Maybe a KDE problem?

Thanks for the report. We took notice, but fixing this requires
tweaking both the curses and Qt backends, which would delay the ISO
more than we'd like to. Like you said, it's non-fatal, so we'll let
this one pass this time.

Thanks! André and I spent the whole day to fix this but we finally
found the solution. A new ISO will be uploaded and should be available
tomorrow.

If anybody has any other fatal bugs to report, speak up or forever
hold thy peace. :) [haha, I actually learned the English equivalent of
this expression in this very list :) ]
