I'm getting an error message from linux-2.4.0 which I wasn't getting with linux-2.4.0-test10. I have an MS-6167 motherboard. Both kernels report

Jan  5 16:39:17 jhereg kernel:  BIOS-e820: 000000000000d000 @ 000000000fff3000 (ACPI data)

Later on with 2.4.0, I get

I don't see this with v2.4-test10. Instead I see
