On my Dell OptiPlex 330 machines with kernel 2.6.32.2 I get a strange
WARNING. Do I need to worry? Here is the warning:

It took a while, but I have verified that 2.6.30.10 works without any
message, and 2.6.31 has the error message (but otherwise seems to run
ok). The hex codes are different, but the function names match and
are in the same places.
Does it have to be git bisect, or will trying the 2.6.31rc[1-9] be
enough instead? The Documentation/BUG-HUNTING does not give detailed
enough instructions for me to do the bisect thing.

"git bisect" can point directly at the kernel patch that causes the
problem (well, most of the time it can do that), whereas just saying
2.6.31-rc[1-9] will just tell us that it was one of a few thousand
patches. Not nearly as helpful.
Maybe this can help you:

yeah a bisect hopefully
points to the right location
if you need info I can try and assist you as much as
possible, and well as anybody else.

Hey, the problem is that you configured VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE
to be CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=65536, which will be
65536Kb, i.e. 16384 pages, how huge! :)
We shoud limit the number of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE. I will cook
a patch now...

Memory allocations are failing because your scrollback
size is set to high (65 Mb).
In your config you have:
CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=65536
The default in 2.6.32 is 64.
