When running a module-repair, I always get this warning and have been getting it since install on July 30, 2024. FYI today is Aug. 2, 2024
Curious if this something that needs to be fixed. It still reappears even after doing a reboot.
External command: Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
External command: The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you
External command: run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
Something’s weird with your partitions. Can you run these and paste the output?
sudo lsblk

So, what were your thoughts on this partition warning?
You need to do dmesg for each disk and see if one of them tells you something more about that. Nothing jumps out so far. Next, I’d try sudo partprobe -s -d to see if that will tell you what’s changing. As a complete guess, maybe your (looks like USB, even if it’s internal) SD card reader is throwing things off – mine usually don’t show a device until a card is actually present.
So far it doesn’t look like the warning is actually causing a problem, and also doesn’t look like it’s for sdc, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much, but you could start removing the extra disks until it goes away.
Well, I did a bit of cleanup on isle twelve! 
I had created several partitions for testing linux distro’s to help me decide which one to go with. Those partitions are now gone. I was hooked on CL from the moment it started installing and is what I finally went with. I was so excited, I ran out and got a new 1TB SSD to run it on.
I run Win 10 pro on disk SDA which, I can switch to when needed. Clear Linux runs on disk SDC.

The boot partition should be FAT, that’s normal.
OK, thanks for that!
