Hi. After a long time away from Linux I'll be asking some
newby-type
questions, so I'll apologise from the start.
I have just installed the KDE Spin of FC27 to a four-year-old Lenovo
G510 laptop, with a 120GB drive installed. Dring bootup I'm seeing
messages about hardware failures. They don't linger long enough to
write them down, and boot.log appears to be empty (unless that's because
I'm logged in as user, not root). They mention
TSC_Deadline
mce
dracut-pre-udev
How desperate is this? Is it really telling me it's time to ditch that
laptop?
here (after sleep mode, IINM):

Do you see messages like the above? Try:
journalctl -n 50000
I have errors along that line since 1.5 yrs or so, since I installed some Fedora
the fist time on that machine. As long as no one tells me this is serious, and as
long as I don't see smoke, fire, or sparks coming out of the computer, or
hear strange noises from the machine: I won't care much. I'd start to
care if hardware wasn't detected - things like that ...
