Do these boot messages mean anything?

I'm also seeing a similar issue on an Intel D975XBX desktop board, with the
latest BIOS. (v. 1334 as of this email) The error also references PCI Device
0000:01:00.0 - my video card.

I'm using a single NVidia GeForce 6800 PCI Express card, and it also seems
to be working just fine.

I wonder if the kernel's just catching up to the hardware specs. I remember
when I moved up to the P4 HT Prescott and the 865 chipset was causing grief,
(preventing the system from booting and such) back in the FC3 days.

It usually means that the BIOS is doing something bad (a BIOS bug).
If you're not hitting any problems, then don't worry about it.
