I don't know what it means.

I tried googling it but all I got was a lot of other log dumps with the same 
message. I hate to make excuses but I am also blind and its difficult for me 
to scan long web pages with 100s of lines of log dumps.

While I was trying to give you the diagnostic stuff you asked for, I found a 
workaround of sorts. I booted with a serial console,console=ttyS0, and the 
error messages no longer appear on the regular console. So now I can log in 
there and use the laptop as normal. The error messages still appear on the 
serial console but I could direct them to ttyS1 and then they'd go no where, 
I guess. I'm not sure what happens if you write to a serial port that 
doesn't really exist.
