I originally put this in the hardware section but realized that it might be a software question, perhaps having to do wit hthe kernel?
Is this bad?
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ stepping 00

boots and runs normally but I noticed this in the dmesg log.
Is it going to hurt performance? what does it mean?
in my opinion this sounds as you do not have the right DSDT table. do you have a laptop and when yes which one? you could get the right DSDT table for your laptop on a specific link, which I actually forgot, you should google for that
I had that sort of error all the time before.
I think acpi is what monitors the power supply of a laptop and turn the laptop to standby or whatever when the batteries are too low... As I didn't have a laptop I reinstalled with a "noacpi" option. That did the trick.
