2.6.15-26-386 kernel on a AMD K7 machine -- **** SET: Misaligned resource pointer: df8e0be2 Type 07 Len 0

Hello,

I am getting a lot of these "SET: Misaligned resource pointer"
messages and wonder if this indicates a kernel problem.  The machine
seems to be running Ubuntu fine, but the messages are a little
worrisome.
