G'Day,

nothing to worry about in this lot apart from the last line that says your
root filesystem is full.

The Unable to install/attach driver lines are just drivers that are
available but unused by your particular machine.
This is quite normal.

Regards,
Brad.

The file system is less than 30% used. That message came at the time that
I reconfigured the devices. I assume it created a lot of temporary files
and removed them because later when I restarted the machine I didn't
observe the "file system full" message.

Best regards,

Joe
