And?

A bit more context would be useful.

It's logspam that shouldn't really be there.

dmidecode is installed, and should be able to provide some of the same info...

Or the current code wants some error suppression....

emoncms/Modules/admin/admin_model.php

Lines 333 to 356 in 11dcca2

	$res = $this->exec('cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor');
	if (trim($res) != "") {
	$machine_string = trim($res);
	}
	$res = $this->exec('cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name');
	if (trim($res) != "") {
	$product = trim($res);
	}
	$res = $this->exec('cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name');
	if (trim($res) != "") {
	$board = trim($res);
	}
	$res = $this->exec('cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version');
	if (trim($res) != "") {
	$bios = trim($res);
	}
	$res = $this->exec('cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_date');
	if (trim($res) != "") {
	$bios = trim($bios." ".trim($res));
	}

And of course, other people are seeing the same error as per on https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/problem-with-full-update-emoncms/27142

f232233 added it...

It's code that probably wouldn't ever execute on a pi... So probably some checking/error suppression
