everything seemed to be functioning properly other than the error 
"mp-bios bug 8254 timer not connected".  so i ignored it at first 
thinking i'll get back to it later.  then...

i install azureus.  my machine goes crash happy.  keeps freezing up.  so 
i peak in /var/log/messages and it's a bit over my head.  so i was 
thinking to just go through and stomp out every problem along with 
azureus acting up.  (something fun to do on the long weekend)  i merely 
picked the bios error because that's the first thing i see when i start 
the machine.  after that bios error i'm also getting another error that 
has just started with the latest kernel update "udevd[479] add to rules 
unknown key...".  i was going to fiddle with that one next.  it's not 
that important, just me screwing around.

if you think that this is a message that can be ignored and is not 
effecting other apps i'll move on.  thanks for any tips.  - eric c.
