Im been using the last few days to make a few of our linux server a lit= tle bit faster and stable, ive crossed some warnings/errors which i dont kn= ow how to correct. I highlight thoes i dont understand i paste the kernel dmesg.

( I enabled it = in the bios ) Dosent the kernel want to say anything cool about it that it= use it? besides 4 processors. Thats about all :D I will be very happy, if i could get some of the questions answered. Thanks :D - Matias Bj=F8rling
