The first error I've got rid of by !RevertMode but the second one
(might be a Pinboard2 issue) is still bugging me. 

Would you do the honours Martin or anyone familiar with !Reporter
using Pinboard2 (V2.07) on an ARMX6 test their Boot sequence by
running it setting the following Configuration..

Click Default

Startup: 1000KBytes. Use remaining default values.

Options: Ensure 'General Reporting'is unticked. Check 'Report OS
Commands executed' with Time and Source are ticked. Check 'Report
Errors raised' are ticked.

Boot Report: Tick 'Start Reporter at start of Boot sequence'. Tick
third Report option 'First and last of PreDesk directories'.

Click Save and reboot machine

Check if errors occur under the dark blue heading...
[WindowManager] Obey SCSI::SSD.$.!Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks.Pinboard

I get a message "Expansion too complex" and a resolution of 1280 x 800
instead of 1920 x 1080. !Reporter displays numerous errors.

This test needs running on an ARMX6 running RO 5.31 (21-Jul-24)
