Actually this check was introduced in rev. 1.214, just was not logged. 
Before this change system could crash soon after this message. Now it 
should not, but related device probably will not work properly. It is 
probably not good and should be fixed, but it can be just a low memory 
symptom. It was noticed for ata driver, but I hope it was fixed. Where 
have you get it?
