I also have these messages (2.6.23-rc7, Intel D945GCZ board), probably for the
same reason as the system works perfectly. Is the option to suppress them still
being considered?

An alternative could be to include the processor number (or core number or
whatever) in the message. With that a user could at least think "I only have
two cores, so not finding 3 and 4 is OK".
The current messages are somewhat scary and confusing, and are bound to lead to
loads of time wasted googling and on forums, BTSs.

P.S. "neededinfo" tag on this report seems obsolete.
