Latest updates breaking boot

First, let me apologize if my language is not precise, my last computer course was 50 years ago.
PC is IDed as HP-Desktop-M01-F0xxx
OS Zorin 16.2
I am experiencing this or a similar issue as of this morning (June 16-2023)- update installed in 2 batches, and required a restart. On restarting, the boot failed. Had the following message on the screen-
---[ end of Kernel panic - not syncing:UFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown- block(0,0)]---

On the next boot attempt, I got the boot selection screen, which gave me the choice of:
Zorin with Linux 5.15.0-75 generic
Zorin with Linux 5.15.0-75 generic recovery mode
Zorin with Linux 5.15.0-73 generic
Zorin with Linux 5.15.0-73 generic recovery mode

The most recent update (5.15.0-75 generic) will not boot in either mode.
The previous update (5.15.0-73 generic) boots without issues, and I am using it now.

Would appreciate any help or suggestions. I could not find any way to report this issue on Zorin's site.

Do you read INCONSISTENT FILESYSTEM? I had this issue once and fixed it by entering fsck /dev/sda2 and pressed y to each Fix? question till logging in successfully. To report a problem or suggest a feature you can open Send Feedback - Zorin OS, choose one of the 2 options, fill in the fields and send.

You can also set the previous working kernel as default boot:

-75 recovery mode also failed- same message as booting -75.

The graphics card is AMD. Graphics driver is the Zorin AMD driver.

after entering fsck /dev/sda2 I get a message telling me the file system is mounted, and I "WILL" (all caps in the message) cause file system damage by continuing.
Thanks for the Zorin feedback link, I left them a report.
