Of course you do!  The phenomenon isn't "dangerous", but the lines 
giving the error message given repeatedly and endlessly in your log 
will fill up /var PDQ!  In addition, strange things can happen to your 
operation of apps due to memory access problems.

The usual cause is a VIA chipset incompatibility.  The usual cure is to 
recompile your kernel with all reference to apm  _removed_  (it isn't 
enough to rely on the default "disabled" status).
