Hi!  You should do a search through the list for this, but as I recall, the
error has something to do with AMD specific hardware (a motherboard issue, I
think?).  I think that there is a syscntl setting you can use to correct this.
As I don't have any hardware this manifests on, I've never had to do it myself,
but it has shown up frequently on the list...

HTH,
Ricky
