As I said before, the line numbers here and their contents are irrelevant.
The error message and its solution are quite clear. You have at least
one angle between some atoms i-j-k, in which the masses of atoms i and k
differ by at least a factor of 13. In this instance, you shouldn't be
constraining all bonds. Set constraints = h-bonds and move ahead. The
only force field that I know of that requires all bonds to be
constrained is GROMOS, all others normally only constrain bonds to H.

>> WARNING 1 [file gromacs.top, line 79147]: There are atoms at both ends of an angle, connected by constraints and with masses that differ by more than a factor of 13. This means that there are likely dynamic modes that are only very weakly coupled. To ensure good equipartitioning, you need to either not use constraints on all bonds (but, if possible, only on bonds involving hydrogens) or use integrator = sd or decrease one or more tolerances: verlet-buffer-tolerance <= 0.0001, LINCS iterations >= 2, LINCS order >= 4 or SHAKE tolerance <= 1e-05
