TLUG,
Whenever I boot, there's this error that appears on screen. It usually flickers by so fast I don't really see it. But recently I was able to actually see it long enough to record it.
It says:
PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG
The term "BIOS Bug" sounds very scary. But, on the other hand, my computer has been working just swell. At least, every problem I've ever had has been resolved on the OS or application level.
Of course the first thing I did was Google the terms of the error. Oddly, all it really came up with was all these guys posting their boot logs, but no one seemed to have much in the way of commentary or explanation of it. Certainly not in any form I could understand.
So... should I be concerned at all about this?
