I get this same error too so I went looking on the web for info about
it.  Apprently quite a few people get this error and use a variety of
hardware so it's not limited to one item.  Most have deemed it harmless
and since it doesn't seem to cause any system issues I ignore it.  But
I've had this on two diffrent systems.  My cyrix when it was running
mandrake and my athlon since it's ran gentoo.  Neither had a problem tho
the message at first was somewhat unsettling and bugged me til I found
out it didn't seem to be anything bad going on.
