A few lines from dmesg puzzle me too, like:
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7. -> What is that, and why?
mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs. mtrr: corrected configuration. -> Maybe not corrected correctly?
BIOS failed to enable PCI standards compliance, fixing this error. -> Maybe not really fixed?
Thanks for your effort, Gilles May
