If you computer is working okay, I would be inclined to attribute the fails to that.
I ran dmesg|grep -i failed on my Debian desktop (no results) and my Ubuntu laptop (3 results).
Hi frankbell,
thank you for your time and your opinion.
Let's see if any further answers come here. If not, I'll ignore those messages.
Thanks again and merry christmas
Maybe posting the whole thing 'dmesg' would help. However, I agree with frankbell in that, if it isn't causing any real problem, ignore it. Lots of junk gets outputted like that, and often it's just meaningless junk. Often, bugs are reported to fix these or remove them, because people complain about them.
