Public bug reported:
Dear Ubuntu Development Team,
I am writing to report a critical issue encountered after updating to
kernel version 6.11.0-17-generic on my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop. 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.
Best regards,
Lenny
