I think you already got an answer on this. But I want to comment a 
little on the remaining things, so that people don't get the impression 
that this could be caused by a BIOS problem:

This function (called by GRUB) returns information about the ROM 
configuration. Looking at the specs and the GRUB source I get the 
impression that it's actually a bug in GRUB, because that function is 
should be called with AX=C000.

This call is done by the Linux kernel to determine support for SpeedStep 
via SMI. Which is rather useless, because inside the guest it doesn't 
make sense to activate SpeedStep. SpeedStep is something that needs to 
be done in the host OS only.

Both messages will be removed from the log in the next SVN OSE update.
