This morning, I updated Ubuntu to use kernel 5.11.0-46 as recommended by the software updater. However, Ubuntu won't load after the update.
I am able to get to GRUB and select 5.11.0-44 as the kernel and get into Ubuntu but I'm not sure how I can address this issue long term. I tried changing the default kernel that GRUB uses as follows:
GRUB_DEFAULT=Ubuntu, with Linux 5.11.0-44-generic
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd7fff"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0
This, however, did not improve matters and it still causes the OS to not load after GRUB. I even tried to remove the quiet splash
to see if I could get the verbose OS load to no avail.
Any ideas how to address this? I want to understand why this is happening and what I can do to help solve this issue.
UPDATE: Had incorrect entry in GRUB_DEFAULT
:
GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 5.11.0-44-generic"
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd7fff"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0
Also, had forgotten to update GRUB after modifying the file:
sudo update-grub
I can now boot into 5.11.0-44 by default.
I’ll file a bug as recommended in the comments so this gets tracked correctly.
