Thanks. Installing an updated EVDI seems to have done the trick `sudo apt-get install evdi-dkms`. The new kernel is now working.
However it is not good that automatic updating the kernel broke boot up. I know that there are so many different packages, etc, that you can't possible test all combinations. But maybe there is some way the install could test if the compile works, and if it doesn't then don't add/configure the new kernel but instead report an installation error. The problem would still need fixing, but at least it can be checked before installing that would stop creating a boot up issue. Or maybe you have to install the kernel first before it can be checked, so that may not be possible. Anyway, thanks for the help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2055147 Title: Kernel upgrade to 6.5.0-21-generic fails to boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After automatic update to kernel 6.5.0-21-generic my laptop fails to complete booting with a kernel panic.
