I have Ubuntu 16.10 (although the same happened on 16.04) on a dual boot with Windows 10. I noticed some time ago that my kern.log file was getting pretty big (10GB or more) so I decided to check it. The same error seems to be repeating every second or less:

Dec 19 17:31:01 andrew kernel: [   99.027473] pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e5(Receiver ID)

I have tried adding to the grub pci=nomsi and pci=noaer but it keeps popping up. I am using a ASUS Laptop with an Nvidia Geforce 920M. Maybe that's the reason?

I believe this may be due to PCIe Active State Power Management that is transitioning the link to a lower power state and maybe causing the device to trigger these errors. I believe the device in question is the Sunrise Point-LP PCI Express Root Port.

Try using the pcie_aspm=off boot parameter to see if this stops the messages. Note that this will increase the power consumption of your machine as it disables the power savings.

Try these steps:

1. sudo gedit /etc/default/grub


2. 
   

   Edit grub. Add pci=noaer at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Line will be like this:

   
   
   

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=noaer"

   
   



3. sudo update-grub



4. Reboot now

:) Enjoy.

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 today and I noticed the same problem. I've just installed that package and problem has been solved.

sudo apt-get install busybox-syslogd

Check log files size and do empty large files:

ls -s -S /var/log

result:

total 4352668

4021088 syslog                 32 wtmp                  4 gdm3

 329168 kern.log               24 Xorg.0.log            4 hp

   1776 dpkg.log               20 Xorg.1.log            4 installer

     40 lastlog                20 Xorg.0.log.old        4 journal

and do:

cd /var/log

sudo su

$ > syslog

$ > kern.log

Then, to make sure, let follow this answer above https://askubuntu.com/a/1019225/725320

In case you can't boot into Ubuntu and get stuck with these logs in your screen (same as me):

• Use Recovery Mode to get root shell
  


• Do empty large log files


• Boot into Ubuntu, install busybox-syslogd and update grub config

I had the same problem, but the solution was to add pci=nomsi to /etc/default/grub file. Perform the following edit:

before:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

after:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=nomsi"

And save the settings:

sudo update-grub

1. if you already installed ubuntu or mint just go from the grub and from there go to recovery mode from there go to root and make the commands like on the video and from there make the changes again like in the video BUT if pci=nomsi/pci=noaer does not work for you change it to pcie_aspm=off.




2. if you can not install the OS cause of this problem you can edit the boot order line in grub if you dont understand me when you boot up for a installation instead of pressing ENTER press E to edit and there is a line named Linux and add to the end pcie_aspm=off but try out pci=nomsi/pci=noaer (REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX TO FIX IT PERMANENT DO STEP 1 AFTER THE INSTALATION)
   AND DO NOT FORGET TO UPDATE THE GRUB
