I haven't seen an answer to this yet, so I'll try my 2 cents worth.

I note messages like this whenever I install some new hardware, or
if I change a setting in the BIOS. However, lately, I've been seeing
this message often. It is not operating system dependant, 'cos I have
a number of OSes on my system. Anyway, the message appears before
the computer is booted by the operating system, so it can't be.

Persoanlly though, it hasn't harmed my system in any way. So the
old addage applies, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I do have an ISA sound card though, and I seem to remember starting
to see this when I changed network cards a while back. (ISA to PCI).

Only suggestion for you is to make sure that all your add on cards
are properly seated in their slots.

Any better suggestions are most welcome, as I guess I'd also like
to see a more technical answer to the question.

Cheers
Brendon
