I have such message too but it is not stops booting and not affects my work.
I have no idea what is this exactly :)

I have machine with x86.

Yes, I have NVIDIA videocard and it is the reason why I still use 2.6.31
kernel -- it still works with this kernel.

May be this is a good point. But I don't dig with it, just stop to use new
kernels temporarily and still using 2.6.31-rt

One more significant(for me) reason for still using 2.6.31, except
nvidia-problem,  is that I find out that command ps output was somehow
changed in subsequent kernels, so steps starts from 3 from
http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/IrqPriorities is not working.
