Kernel Panic!

General Help
1

Hey folks,

Zorin 18 user here, still a Linux learner. I have been getting a kernal panic on my laptop for the last few days. If I reboot after the panic I can get to a menu where I can choose between booting to Zorin with the 6.17.0-20-generic * 6.17.0-19-generic kernals, it'll give me a kernal panic for the first but not the second.

See below screenies, one of the error and what I am able to select when I reboot:

I guess something borked an update? Any suggestions?

Thank you

Turns out I figured it out. I didn't notice one of my drivers caused an update to fail (IPU6, they're broken for my model), I disabled them & reran the update and it's rebooted to 6.17.0-20-generic just fine.
