I just booted the Lucid kernel 2.6.32-21-server standard kernel and it 
has similar messages but it will boot fine.  Where the powernow-k8 BAR 3 
error is, instead of saying 'can't setup' like dom0 kernel, it says 
'can't allocate resource'. 
"Cool n Quiet" (freq scaling) is OFF in BIOS with this machine which 
isn't a problem for this machine since it is a small server.  Once 
again, any suggestions to compiling a bootable kernel?
