Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1146-gcp-fips 5.4.0-1146.155+fips1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-5.4.0-1148-azure-fips 5.4.0-1148.156+fips1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-azure-fips 5.4.0.1148.86
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-gcp-fips 5.4.0.1146.88
Available with Ubuntu Pro
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
