During boot of 2.2.18 I get the following messages:

mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent variable MTRR settings
mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs

Is this something I should worry about?

This is an MSI 694D Pro AI mainboard, with dual P-III 800EB processors and 320Mb RAM, stock 2.2.18 kernel.

More info available upon request.

It means your bios vendor cannot read specifications. Linux fixed up the problem. I wouldnt worry too much BIOS vendors don't believe in specifications 8)
