Do some tests with the HP machine,

1. with flash OEM image, kernel version 5.10.0-1044-oem, directly
install the proposed kernel version(5.15.0-112.122~20.04.1), it can boot
up without issue.

2. with flash OEM image, kernel version 5.10.0-1044-oem, directly do the 
disk-upgrade(all update packages on proposed), this is cert lab do.
  $sudo apt disk-upgrade
  then the kernel "cannot" boot up.

3. after following 1 step, boot up with 5.15.0-112 kernel, then do the proposed 
disk-upgrade
  reboot, then it cannot boot up
  on this procedures, it informed that the grub-efi-amd64.bin will not be 
updated.

4. force reboot after 3, and boot with bootable old
kernel(5.10.0-1044-oem), then install grub-efi-amd64.bin, then reboot,
the 5.15.0-112.122~20.04.1 can boot up.

5. after 2 on the kernel can not boot up and then reboot to bootable old
kernel(5.10.0-1044-oem), do the disk-upgrade(all update packages on
proposed). Then 5.15.0-112 kernel can boot up.

From the above tests, directly install the 5.15.0-112.122~20.04.1 kernel
has no problem, it cannot boot up only when flashing the oem image the
directly do the disk-upgrade with all the packages on proposed. It seems
some update procedures left the grub not be updated that causes boot up
issue. If after flashing image do the disk-ugrade without proposed, then
do the disk-upgrade with proposed, then the grub and
kernel(5.15.0-112.122~20.04.1) will be updated, it can boot up without
problems. So, I believe this is not the kernel issue.
