Messages during attempt to boot to ISO and install of Linux Mint

[wpshooter]

I am getting the 2 following lines when booting up to the ISO image of Linux Mint Mate 18.3:

Platform wdat_wdt: Failed to claim resource 1
ACPI: Watchdog: device creation failed: -16

Should I be concerned about these message or should I just ignore and go ahead with OS installation ?

Thanks.

Step 2. Any wrong watchdog module has to be unloaded.

List loaded watchdog module:

# lsmod | grep -e dog -e wdt

Note: If any module is used, that does not contain the shown strings "dog" or "wdt", it will not show up. See /lib/modules/.../kernel/drivers/watchdog for modules shipped with the SLES operating system.

Unload non-needed watchdog modules:

# rmmod <wrong_module>

Repeat the above for all non-needed modules.

You can ignore those warning messages and proceed with installation.

That's what I figured, so I have installed OS and all seems to be going well.

Thanks.
