I dont think I have any special configuration there (it doesnt show up while running debsumbs -ce nor any other file that seems that might affect).

I dont have or never had raids... not sure why is giving the other error as useless as it might be I also attach modules-load.service.log and divert.output showing the output of $ sudo journalctl -b -u systemd-modules-load.service (before the diversion) and $ update-initramfs -u (after the diversion) I have no idea what is triggering nouveau to load. I am the only one having this issue or is it more general? because I dont think I have many special configurations Thanks for your time!
