Harold,
If you are receiving this (or similar) error message but it appears to be causing no ill effects then this is the bug report you are looking for:
Bug #159241
The several comments I read on the forum you linked to above indicate this is an error message with no ill effects.

It appears from the upstream commentary that it has to do with BIOS resource allocation double-up which has no ill effects but the Linux kernel correctly notes the issue during boot up. While this is not a Linux bug the devs appear to be lowering the error reporting level so that normal users don't see this message. The message will probably not appear in Hardy.

This bug ( Bug #55416 ) hasn't [yet] been marked as a duplicate of Bug #159241 because the original reporter (Zoltan) had a system stability issue with regard to a very specific system configuration. It's not clear yet whether Zoltan's reported error message is related to Zoltan's instability issues or not.

Thanks.
