I am getting the exact same line on bootup on my Fujitsu Siemens
Lifebook E8110. After that line the boot halts with current git:

Last lines on current git were:

	IPMI System Interface driver
	Clocksource tsc unstable ( delta = -160251929ns )

Now running:
	Linux laptop 2.6.21-rc2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 1 07:41:52 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

which comes up with the same line when initializing IDE but continues
to run:
