I know what this is and can correct it. It is harmless and appeared in another piece of code (pdc202xx.c). I just need to added to the chipset code a test for verification of a good BIOS/board combination. Many of the PIIX4 based kludges have crummy bios code, and need to overrided.
Since you have a good bios/mainboard combination, skip the inclusion of the "piix.c" chipset code.
