I have also been getting this error as soon as my system updated from Kernel 5.4.0-58-generic x86_64 bits to Kernel 5.8.0-38-generic x86_64 bits.
Booting from the 5.8 kernel stops with a black screen and a blinking cursor. Pressing the PC power off switch performs a power off. Rebooting with the 5.4 kernel using the Grub Advanced options allows me to login normally although shortly after an error report appears. Additional Info is attached. I plan to using try using PPA kelebek333/nvidia-legacy with my ancient GT215M [GeForce GT 250M].
