I think this indicates a BIOS defect.  PNPBIOS gives us a list
of resources a device is using.  The list contains things like
the memory and I/O port ranges claimed by a device, the 
interrupt it uses, etc.  There's supposed to be an "end"
tag at the end of the list.  Apparently your BIOS didn't
supply the "end" tag.

This should be harmless, as long as the resources that *are*
in the list are correct.  The message is currently KERN_ERR;
maybe it would make more sense to be KERN_WARN.

P.S.  I promise to look at the logs you posted soon :-)
