This is all that I could get:
PNP!!!: Node number: 0xa EISA ID: PNP0c02
pnp: 00:0a: iport range 0x4d0-0x4d1 has been reserved
pnp: 00:0a: iport range 0x8000-0x803f has been reserved
pnp: 00:0a: iport range 0x2180-0x218f has been reserved
PNP!!!: Node number: 0xc EISA ID: PNP0c02
PNP!!!: Node number: 0xd EISA ID: PNP0c02
PNP!!!: Node number: 0xe EISA ID: PNP0700
PNP!!!: Node number: 0x10 EISA ID: PNP0400
general protection fault: 0040
...

No worries.
