Recently I just built a new PC with ASUS P8H97 motherboard (using BIOS 1003) and I noticed this error in dmesg output: <snip> ACPI: Core revision 20110413 ..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1 CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz stepping 07 Performance Events: PEBS fmt1+, SandyBridge events, Intel PMU driver. ... version: 3 ... bit width: 48 ... generic registers: 8 ... value mask: 0000ffffffffffff ... max period: 000000007fffffff ... fixed-purpose events: 3 ... event mask: 00000007000000ff Booting Node 0, Processors #1 smpboot cpu 1: start_ip = 98000 #2 smpboot cpu 2: start_ip = 98000 #3 Ok. smpboot cpu 3: start_ip = 98000 Brought up 4 CPUs Total of 4 processors activated (26489.60 BogoMIPS).

Where should I be looking for manifestations of bug and if this is a BIOS bug, what should I report to the tech support?
