It's a known problem and on my todo list (once the book is finished...). The warnings are due to the fact that setup_arch() is not yet registering the reserved memory regions (search for "XXX fix me" in that routine and you'll see what I mean). Given the EFI memory map, this will be easy to fix---just a small matter of programming. In the meantime, it shouldn't have any negative effect (hotplugging with dumb buses such as PCMCIA would be a problem, but since ISA isn't supported anyhow...). --david
