The error message is: This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU.
This page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE suggests that you might have luck using the 'forcepae' kernel command line flag in your /etc/default/grub and rebuilding the grub menu. (I believe sudo dpkg- reconfigure grub-pc is the easiest way to do this but there may be better ways.) Your CPU doesn't advertise PAE but *might* support it. If your processor truly does not support PAE you may not be able to use Ubuntu's kernel packages. I have not heard of any mitigations for Meltdown or Spectre for i686 processors.
