Kernel update to 5.4.0-58 make hardware drivers issues

[Gustavo Jesien Pinent]

After an upgrade that included 5.4.0-26 to 5.4.0-58 the GPU was set to default only and there was an alert of driver not working, hardware acceleration won't work. Also, WiFi was not found, only network by cable was working.

The workaround is to choose the older kernel, and everything come back to normal. I might uninstall this kernel and keep only the old one during updates, so I don't have to boot holding shift and choose the kernel. But this is a temporary solution, right?

Also, the installer is an unofficial modified version of Mint 20 Cinnamon made to boot in 64bits CPU with 32bits EFI

apport was not installed, therefore Terminal returns command not found error. Even installed, not sure if would work because I was entering on old kernel and even did uninstall this malfunction kernel to enter automatically on old kernel when booting. Sorry not being able to add the information.
Also, I forgot to mention the installer ISO image of Mint 20 Cinnamon was modified to boot in 64bits CPU with 32bits EFI, so I could install the 64bits version. Is the same mod as the Ubuntu for mac versions (there was still an official build 16, but I prefer this Mint that is the last version).
