the messages are pretty harmless, but there is a way to disable it.
OR you disable it in the BIOS OR you disable it in the kernel

in case you want to dual boot with windows then the last option would be 
the best because windows will probably not start if its turned of in the 
bios.

to disable it in the kernel:
there is a file called /boot/grub/menu.lst where the boot options are listed

if you see a line similair like this, it is what you see when you start 
up and can select which kernel to boot
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-vserver-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro

what you can do is to add the following parameters "noapic nolapic 
acpi=off "
so the complete line would look like this:
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-vserver-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro noapic 
nolapic acpi=off
