Boot error message

[Keith Powell]

When I boot Unbutu, I get the following message:


PNPBIOS fault.. attempting recovery.
PnPBIOS: Warning! Your PnP BIOS caused a fatal error. Attempting to continue
PnPBIOS: You may need to reboot with the "nobiospnp" option to operate 
stably
PnPBIOS: Check with your vendor for an updated BIOS


However, things do run stably, and PnP is *not* enabled in the BIOS.

The computer is only about two months old, so I can't see it needing an 
updated BIOS.

Over the last few weeks, I have been running several distros to compare 
them, and Unbuntu is the only one which gives this fatal error message.

I am ignoring the message for now, but would be very interested in 
finding out why I get it with only this one distro, and if I should 
ignore it.

Any ideas, please?

Many thanks

Keith
