  reviewing the console output after booting the appliance.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  An omission in the configuration of the secure boot phase of the
  MQ appliance resulted in some modules being loaded out of
  sequence. This had no adverse affect, as the correct set of
  module was loaded during the boot process, but the error
  described above was reported as a result.
  

Problem conclusion

• The MQ Appliance secure boot phase has been updated to prevent
  these modules being loaded out of sequence.
  
  Some customers may still observe this message during the initial
  cleartext boot phase. The same issue within the cleartext boot
  phase is addressed by the MQ Appliance v 9.0.1 or later
  firmware.
