I think that the message above doesn't matter with your nescape crash,
When linux kernel boot, it reserve all usable low memory,for example
kernel: BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
kernel: BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
then kernel call find_smp_config to get MP configuration table if your machine
is SMP, and the function will reserve the MP-table at 0xfa000,0xfb000, 0xf4000,
and because these regions were reserved by kernel, so kernel would
print the message, but it doesn't affect you system.
