I have installed Debian 9 64-bit. During, booting, the messages include the following:
sound/card2/input16
[ 15.597003] usb 2-1.5: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
[ 16.888736] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enp4s0: link is not ready
[ 16.904357] r8169 0000:04:00.0: firmware: failed to load rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw (-2)
[ 16.904373] r8169 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw failed with error -2
The failure message is printed in red and nothing else is reported after that, although Debian boots fine and runs without problems.
I was not aware my Dell Inspiron 3010 has an RTL8168 wifi interface.
Is this a problem or just an irritant. Either way, can it be supressed?

Re: boot error message for wifi
As far as the msg suppression, you could probably just install the firmware? That would get rid of at least a couple of lines. I use plymouth, which hides all of the msgs at boot.
r8169 is ethernet, you can use lspci to find out more about your hardware. Also there is a tool call inxi, gathers a lot of info about the system.
There are some good links on the net, or maybe the forum here about 'silent boot' and they would have a lot of info for you.
