Public bug reported:
Kernel panic on boot after kernel upgrade, requiring manual initramfs
repair (so serious system impact). Next package install triggered
virtualbox-dkms error, and virtualbox cannot load vm due to missing
kernel module.
Related bugs:
- LP #2143821 — kernel 7.0 error, but fixed only for Resolute
- LP #2136499 — previous Noble/6.17 incompatibility
- LP #2141741 — missing-initramfs/kernel-panic
Appears to be a new Noble regression.
