For the xargs error, have a look at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=62426&highlight=xargs

I also get it at boot time but everything seems to be running OK. Does anyone know what causes it though? |

If you get it at boot time try this (this doesnt help me though):
Replace in your /etc/init.d/bootmisc
Code:
( find /var/lock -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f -- 1>&2 )
by
Code:
( cd /var/lock && find . -type f -exec rm -f -- {} \; 1>&2 ) |

| Ok I have narrowed this down to something to do with my kernel config. I boot up my old kernel and the error went away. Anyone know what it could be ? |
