This is a bug in your motherboard BIOS, not in the kernel.

It's weird ... this message only appeared with kernel26 2.6.37-1, with kernel26 2.6.36.3-1 I did not found this message.

So what? I also have some warning about firmware bugs in 2.6.37, while these messages are absent in 2.6.36. Perhaps, the newer kernel does more extensive tests...

This message still continues with kernel26 2.6.37-2

also an issue with core/kernel26 2.6.37.5-1 (base) [installed]?

Can you update the BIOS in your workstation? Otherwise, can you suppress this message cluttering your logs?
