Boot message problem but system running OK

When I boot up I get this message each time:

Loading hardware drivers...
[17179583.7560000] **** SET: Misaligned Resource Pointer: 7af7c02 type 07 len 0
[17179583.7560000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [ALKC] Enabled at IRQ 22

The bootup goes OK after this message with no more messages which seem to point out anything amiss, and the system boots with no problem from the grpahical boot screen. Everything seems to be running fine.

However I would like to eliminate the above problem at boot time if I can but I hardly understand to what is is referring or how to fix it. Does anybody have any idea what it means ?

Bob dug into this and concluded that this
new warning is from excess paranoia and can be ignored.
It will be gone in the next revision of the ACPI patch.
