Hi folks. This is first time I've tried 2.6.28-git (cloned git a few hours ago). 
And got this:

dmesg: http://inhex.net/dion/tmp/dmesg-2.6.28-rc5.txt

/proc/mtrr:
reg00: base=0x000000000 (    0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back
reg04: base=0x0000f8000 (    0MB), size=   32KB, count=1: write-protect
reg05: base=0x0000dc000 (    0MB), size=    8KB, count=1: write-back

Same message exists in 2.6.27 dmesg:
mtrr: your BIOS has set up an incorrect mask, fixing it up.

However it isn't warning.

so the kernel was right to issue a warning.
