It sounded familar to me, but I couldn't remember this message.
Today, I suddenly know where I read it:
In the BIOS of a T23 of a friend of mine.

So try this: when the tp is showing the first screen press F1 to enter 
the BIOS and look for an option telling something like "reset your 
RFID". Usually it's disabled, but in the help shown at the right side of 
the screen it says something like this: "Do this when you get the error 
message Invalid RFID Configuration Information Area"

I can't remember it very well, but it's worth a try.

And another guess I have is about miniPCI-cards. I can't remember too, 
but I think I read this may happen if you got a tp with one of those 
BIOSes which are checking the pci-id of the miniPCI-card for 
compatibility. So if you have a miniPCI-card try to take it out.

This is all I can remember about this.
