Hi,

I see you use the “shpchp” kernel module.  This no longer exists in the
latest version of the kernel Linux.  That’s what this really bad error
message tries to tell you:

(I only know this because I had the same problem.)  Obviously, this
error message should be changed.

As a workaround you could switch to the LTS kernel where that module
still exists.
