do you have the latest BIOS on that board?   looks like they have 
released several updates, latest being 2102 (assuming its the basic p5q 
and not one of hte innumerable proturbohyper++ versions)
.   This wouldn't be the first time an Asus board has had bad 
PCI/ACPI/etc data structures in its BIOS.

googling for that error indicates if you're running xen, its totally 
bogus, if you're running a regular kernel, its an indication of a BIOS 
problem, but it should have no impact on your system operation or 
performance.
