I agree, but Ubuntu can still start en run on that computer. If someone dos not know anything about DMA etc... changes are that Ubuntu looses a user because he/she did see the messages and concluded that it is not going to work. My point is that because there seems to be a alternative try in the install-procedure, we should communicate correct about that procedure to the user. Otherwise we could as well delete that from the procedure.
