Why in my Update Manager when viewing the Kernels, 5.15.0-116 is shown

Maybe this is the problem and not the new Kernel?

Thanks, Ralph

> black screen.
> 
> This is caused by a null pointer dereference when enabling the IOMMU
> after the device has been initialised. It should happen the other way
> around.

> 
> We are reverting a problematic patch and going back to how it was

> If a regression were to occur, users can set "nomodeset" or
> "amd_iommu=off" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and reboot, or pin their
> kernel to a working one.

> The impact of a regression would be high, as users displays could be
