Ubuntu with Kernel 5.11.0-46 won't load/boot

in flag

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.

@user68186 That does actually help me out. Filling a bug report may help out the community at large, as I suspect I’m not the only one with this issue. The other entries in that question are exactly what I had found to be done. Thank you for the input!

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.
