Linux Server - kernel: mtrr: type mismatch

My Linux server has rebooted and hung on me today.

I've been reviewing the log tosee if there's anything that indicates what the cause may have been, and there's not a lot to go on. However, I have some of the following entries in my log and as I am no Linux expert I don't know exactly what they are telling me, or if I should be concerned about them.

Oct  3 23:29:18 <server_name> kernel: mtrr: type mismatch for fc000000,800000 old: uncachable new: write-combining

Is this indicative of a problem or is this just a normal entry to be expected in the log ?

TIA

I wouldn't think you should see that very often though - how often does it show up?

It's only there during boot. How about the following ?
