Request for explanation of error message

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

Can someone please advise as to what the following error indicates?

The below is a subset of multiple repetitions of the error, with the
number in the square brackets, immediately after the word "kernel",
progressively increasing in each line.

The error message appearsat the command line console ( <CTRL><ALT><F1>
), and, in /var/log/syslog , from whence the extract is copied.

Whilst I do not know how to get uname to show the Ubuntu version

Thank you in anticipation.
