Per my comments in the issue description, I can't run apport-collect
because I can't boot the 5.15 or 5.16 kernels. And when I try to run it
for 5.14.21 it tells me I'm running a mainline kernel, despite having
installed the debs from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v5.14.21/.
Please let me know if there is any other information I can usefully
provide however.

Title:
5.15 and 5.16 arm64 kernels fail to boot in VMWare Fusion
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am using VMWare Fusion Tech Preview on an Apple M1 Max MacBook Pro
per:
https://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2021/09/fusion-for-m1-public-tech-
preview-now-available.html
I am successfully using the 5.14 kernel series (currently
5.14.21-051421-generic) but note this is now EOL.
However whenever I try to upgrade to either the 5.15 or 5.16 series my
VM hangs at boot time after:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL unavailable
EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary
EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: Image BSS overlaps adjacent EFI memory region
EFI stub: Using DIB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...
I see the same "hang" for both 5.15.7 and 5.16-rc4.
FYI this has also been reported by others who note that the problem
appears to be specific to Ubuntu:
https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Fusion-for-Apple-Silicon-
Tech/Anyone-have-any-luck-with-Ubuntu-5-15-kernels/m-p/2880362
Given that I can't boot using the 5.15.7 and 5.16-rc4 kernels, I can't
provide the output from:
cat /proc/version
However I attach the output from lspci.
Please let me know what other information I can provide to help
diagnose this issue.
Thanks
