It's normally not a good idea to post pictures here as many people can be on a metered connection.

I would have thought that was just an informational message: does the machine reboot as expected?

sp5100_tco is a kernel module...

modinfo sp5100_tco

tells you more, as does searching online - I found this for instance...

I also found search hits in this forum. Perhaps if you aren't using the sp5100_tco module, you could blacklist it to prevent it from loading?

I don't know I am using it or not I am new in linux and arch.
but if this message is an info message I can ignore it.
