I get some similar errors when booting by wireless LAN. In my case they do not seem to be fatal because (usually) it comes up OK. For both PCs that I have got wireless connectivity working it has taken quite a bit of configuration and/or kernel module installation. I used the following HOWTOs for guidance:
