Could someone explain me what the following error means and wheter
I should worry about it?
Those messages show at bootup. The machine seems to work fine
otherwise. The error shows both for 2.0.34 and 2.0.120 (as shown
below)
Does it mean it does not support MultiMode? -- I think it should as
it is pretty new hardware.

The machine in question is brand-new (bought/assembled yesterday):
Cyrix MII 300 3.0x75
http://www.cyrix.com/mii/mii-main.htm
GigaByte GA-5AX Rev 3.0
http://www.giga-byte.com/GA5ax.html
Seagate Medalist ST38641A 8.6gb hdd.
http://www.seagate.com/disc/medalist/med3.shtml
http://www.seagate.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/at/st38641a.txt
64MB SDRAM
ATX case and giantic fan/heatsink.
old vga card/ 16bit 3c503 ethernet card
The machine just passed test of 100 continuous kernel compiles.
PS:
Since it is ATX mb, it has this 'soft' on/off swtich. Since it is server,
I want it to automatically come up in case power-outage which over-last
the capability of the UPS. But if seems the case that in case of ATX
mb if the power comes out, it won't come up after power is back.
how go I go around this?
Thanks,
-Adam
