Using dmesg, you can see it keeps getting reported even though there’s nothing seriously wrong. Luckily, you can suppress it with a kernel boot option, i.e.

pci=noaer

and that seems to have done the trick. I then recalled I had this issue way back when this machine was new but I forgot to add the parameter to the grub file after I had to do a complete system reinstall.

I was #rebooting my computer and found an error that popped up, part of which said:
Fedora PCIe Bus Error: severity=Correctable

Anytime you get a bus error could be a sign that your hardware may be damaged. But it also said
severity=Correctable
which indicates that it’s not irreversible. A bit of digging online I found that it can indicate that the kernel is reporting errors and Advanced Error Reporting and is not of real concern but it can clutter up log files.

Der Bootprozess von Windows 95 & 98 erklärt

Im Grunde ist der Bootprozess von Windows 9x immer noch ähnlich zu dem, was Windows 10 & 11 veranstalten (UEFI-Spezialitäten ausgenommen).

Der Startprozess von Windows 9x Systemen lässt sich in 6 Phasen einteilen:

1. Phase der Stromversorgung
2. BIOS-Phase
3. Betriebssystem unabhängige Boot-Phase
4. Betriebssystem Real-Modus-Phase
5.Windows-Phase
6. Windows Login

Booting Linux in QEMU and Writing PID 1 in Go to Illustrate Kernel as Program

The Linux kernel is just a program

Most books and courses introduce Linux through shell commands, leaving the kernel as a mysterious black box doing magic behind the scenes. In this post, we will run some experiments to demystify it: the Linux kernel is just a binary that you can build and run.
