I am using Debian Lenny with 2.6.30 kernel on my Intel Atom Poulsbo chipset computer and I get the following messages in my dmesg when I start the X server:


[ 22.760737] mtrr: type mismatch for 3ffc0000,10000 old: write-back new: write-combining
[ 22.760805] mtrr: type mismatch for 3ff80000,40000 old: write-back new: write-combining
[ 22.760860] mtrr: type mismatch for 3ff00000,80000 old: write-back new: write-combining
[ 22.760913] mtrr: type mismatch for 3fe00000,100000 old: write-back new: write-combining
[ 22.760966] mtrr: type mismatch for 3fc00000,200000 old: write-back new: write-combining
[ 22.761040] mtrr: type mismatch for 3f800000,400000 old: write-back new: write-combining

I really have no clues what these mtrr messages mean and how do I go about resolving these error messages? Do I really need to worry about the messages or should I just ignore them?
