Post- update, the system fails to boot, displaying a black screen with the Dell logo. However, booting with the previous kernel version, 6.8.0-53-generic, allows the system to function normally. System Information: Device: Dell Inspiron 15 Processor: Intel Core i7 Memory: 16 GB RAM Storage: 512 GB NVMe SSD Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Current Kernel (Functional): 6.8.0-53-generic Problematic Kernel: 6.11.0-17-generic Steps to Reproduce: Update the system, which includes upgrading to kernel 6.11.0-17-generic. Restart the computer. Observe the system failing to boot, remaining on a black screen with the Dell logo. Additional Observations: Accessing the GRUB menu and selecting the previous kernel version (6.8.0-53-generic) allows the system to boot and operate without issues. System logs indicate a successful firmware update prior to the issue: 02/24/2025 23:54:44 Firmware update is successful 02/24/2025 23:49:43 Time-of-day not set - please run SETUP program 02/24/2025 23:49:43 Alert! Memory error occurred. The problematic kernel (6.11.0-17-generic) is marked with the status "iF" in the package list, suggesting an incomplete installation. Troubleshooting Attempts: Verified BIOS settings, ensuring the SATA operation is set to AHCI/NVMe. Disabled Secure Boot in the BIOS. Attempted to reinstall the problematic kernel, which did not resolve the issue. Removed potentially conflicting modules (backport-iwlwifi-dkms and amdgpu-dkms), followed by a kernel reinstallation, without success. Temporary Workaround: Currently, I am booting the system using the previous kernel version (6.8.0-53-generic) to maintain functionality. Request for Assistance: I seek guidance on resolving this boot issue with kernel 6.11.0-17-generic. Any insights or recommendations to address this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
