It is not an error but a warning. Two totally different things. You 
could use nano to edit stuff if you installed it. If you read the 
warning msg carefully, it tells you where/what the problem is.

So consider updating your BIOS to fix the problem. Apparently your 
current BIOS has a problem, K8 errata #93. The kernel is suggesting a

Add either 'dxs_support=1' or 'dxs_support=4' to the end of your 
kernel line in grub.conf and reboot. If it works, report it.
