I am on Ubuntu12.04 Precise 64bit.

This error occures the first time with a  fresh seted up dual boot
solution with Ubuntu12.10 64bit , which provided the grub2 2.0
bootloader which acting here.

Scenario:

First install Ubuntu12.04 Precise 64bit than install Ubuntu12.10 Quantal
64bit to the same harddisk and use the grub2 2.0 bootloader from
Quantal.

-------------------------------------------

On system start Ubuntu12.04 from grub2 2.0 bootloader menu the system was not able to start. 
The console output during booting shows a "mmio adress is already in use". The Ubuntu12.04 system does not complete it's boot sequence and went back to grub2 2.0 bootmenu. A second try from there with the 12.04 system gave a successfull system start.

An investigation in the kernel log of 12.04 shows:

Sep 23 17:37:32 userHost12041 kernel: [    6.062901] SP5100 TCO timer: SP5100 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v0.01
Sep 23 17:37:32 userHost12041 kernel: [    6.062970] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use

--------------------------------------------

Additional:

A search on launchpad gives back

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/740011

which also handeles boot problems with Natty. This one is marked as
Fixed Released.

--------------------------------------------

Additional:

Before setting up the dual boot solution  with Ubuntu12.10 Quantal 64bit
this error never occure on a pure 12.04 Precise 64bit solution.
