I spotted the following messages while booting (pressing the Esc key as soon as booting starts). These appeared within the first 10-15 lines.
FATAL Module AHCI not found
FATAL Module ATA_Piix not found
FATAL Error running install command for ATA_Piix
I looked in the start-up logs and dmesg but they don’t show these messages so I guess they are appearing before logging starts.
Any clues why this is happening or how to fix it?
I also found this in the dmesg logs which I thought didn’t look right. That BUG note below appear 24 times.

The above repeats 24 times. As far as I can see each call trace looks identical. Surely this isn’t normal is it? Any clues?
I also have these "Failed resume from disk messages intersperse in the dmseg.
1.280074] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input1 1.283770] PM: Resume from disk failed. 1.283788] registered taskstats version 1

There was no resume from disk. It was a cold boot so why do these show up?
[EDIT] These are on my Thinkpad laptop - details in the sig below.
