Can't update the linux kernel with one that works

Since I've upgraded to 21.04, I am stuck on my old kernel version all new versions I tried result in Kernel panic

I'm currently running on 5.8.0-55

The versions I tried that fail to boot are the following: 5.11.0-18, 5.11.0-22, 5.12.13, 5.9.16, 5.8.5

I suspect this has something to do with my nvidia-driver, because since the upgrade I also have trouble with running Vulkan code, and my Display was not correctly detected after the upgrade. I am running on a RTX 2070 Super, my currently installed driver is nvidia-driver-465, which I installed with apt.

I might have done something incorrectly when installing kernels, the way I did it for each version (except the one provided by apt directly):

* download 4 deb files from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
    linux-header__all, linux-header__amd64, linux-image-unisgned__amd64, linux-module__amd64
* run the command: 
    $ sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb
* reboot

When I boot any kernel (except 5.8.0) in recovery mode, I get a kernel panic with plenty of logs on screen with register dumps and I noticed the Module linked in line contains nvidia stuff

I don't know what to do anymore and online search didn't help much on this issue

You are installing mainline kernels correctly. Does [mainline 5.8](https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8/) work? I know it is older than what you have, but just just as a test. Note: I am a server peron and don't know about graphic issues.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
