Hi everyone! :smile:

I’m running version 30020, and getting the following errors/warnings from dmesg:

# dmesg --level=err

Is anyone familiar with any of these?
Should I worry or open new issues on GitHub about something?

Thank you in advance! :smile:

Most of the times, if your system behaves normally and things work, you can ignore them. If you do find that something doesn’t work, then I would look into dmesg output and see if there are relevant errors, and report them.

No, remain calm :slight_smile: , these messages are mostly just verbose output that can be ignored unless there actually is an error using the device.
