Comment 14 for bug 2028366

Hi

with the kernel 6.2.0-27 i have a kernel panic when i start the
computer, because there upgrade doesn't work.

I could start the same computer with 6.2.0-26 in grub.

Yesterday ubuntu asked to upgraded to 6.2.0-31. I replied yes. It's work.

( uname -a :

Linux jeanpaul-Precision-WorkStation-T5500 6.2.0-31-generic #31-Ubuntu
SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Aug 14 13:42:26 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
)

Now i can start the computer without a kernel pannic with the computer
start.

I tryed before the update yesterday the following command. It did not work.

Sincerly yours
