CentOS - Sep 2008 - Strange message at boot time

Hi,

I'm usually booting all machines here with 'vga=788 quiet' options
in
menu.lst, so I see what services start, but it's not too verbose at the 
same time.

One message that puzzles me is the very first one after GRUB starts init:

"Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range."

Anyone knows what that means?

"During the boot process you may see the message "Memory for crash
kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range" appear. This message
comes from the new kdump infrastructure. It is a harmless message and
can be safely ignored."

it's an FAQ.
