I had to do a clean-reinstall of 20.04 as there were other issues (my brother scan not working among others) that were deal breakers to me. I noticed the 5.8.0 kernel is available for install via the metapackage linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge (installs linux-image-5.8.0-25-generic and related packages)
To cut a long story short, the error occurs in focal with the groovy kernel as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901215 Title: Cannot boot with thunderbolt dock connected before kernel loads [groovy] [focal with groovy hwe kernel] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1901215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
