This is something I have never encountered before and it has the P symbol, is this something I should be concerned abt and what exactly is the error message saying?

Hope you can shed some light here.

Thanking you all in advance.

This error is typically caused by an application that is started automatically during a bootup in one of the /etc/rc* or /etc/inittab files.

When the console device driver senses that the write() call has failed, it logs an error to indicate that some program has attempted to notify you and has failed. It is not important to understand the reason that you are getting this entry in the error log; instead, it is important to find exactly which program is causing this error. The best way to do this is to put the following line into your /etc/inittab file immediately after the line that begins with powerfail:

swcons:2:wait:/etc/swcons /tmp/cons.out > /dev/console 2>&1

Then enter the following command (as root):

swcons /tmp/cons.out

Periodically check the file /tmp/cons.out for error messages that should be recognizable as coming from an application that is started during the bootup process. You may have to reboot your system to see these messages. Please be aware that messages that you used to see on your console (including bootup messages) will no longer appear there; they will now appear in /tmp/cons.out. You should monitor the size of this file, so that it does not fill the /tmp file system. To make the file empty, enter > /tmp/cons.out.
