A7V8X-X 1007 BIOS weird message

Last week I grabbed the new 1007 bios for this board and flashed up with
no problem. Everything appears to be running fine however at boot up, after
CPU/memory/IDE detection but before the PCI list I get this message

PCI_READ_DWORD: 30=00000000
FindPMMStruct()
$PMM Entry Point @ E00:C780

This looks, well, ominous to say the least but it could be completely
harmless. It might just be an accidental echo in the BIOS code. Googling any
of these phrases yields nothing. So, Who knows what this is ? And should I
worry?

FYI, My inclination is to flash back to a previous ver which I shall do
shortly. Unless I hear otherwise.

Looks like some kind of program code is being displayed instead of
being written to memory or CPU. Have you searched or checked with asus
about it?

I haven't but I will. As I said it doesn't appear to be causing any problems
but then I also can't say as I exercise the entire system to it's full
capacity. I'll post back if I get an answer from Asus.

Looks like it could be debug code.

I'd download the bios again, confirm the checksum and then reflash it and
see what happens. If it's still there but seems to work, I probably
wouldn't worry about it, but I've never seen anything like it before.
