HX still had a fairly primitive PNP bios. You might try upgrading the BIOS, but that is usually more trouble then it's worth. If the machine seems to be working fine, I wouldn't worry about it too terribly much personally. :) I've got an Asus HX motherboard sitting around, I'll load that up today and see if I can get the same message.
