i Didn’t understand what are you talking about?

I believe what @omano asks for is that you run inxi -Fazy in a terminal and cut and paste the information here. Also describe when/where this message occur.

Sorry Sir but I am New to Linux.
sorry for the inconvienence caused.

I am getting this error message as I freshly installed the Manjaro KDE plasma and immediately getting this error.
I used to install twice the Linux but getting the same Unsupported kernel error message.

Have you tried a different kernel, or is kernel 5.8 important to you (hardware support, etc)? Personally, I prefer the latest LTS/Recommended kernel (Long Term Support), which right now is version 5.4.x.
