Your report right now contains too little information that we can
really act on. A couple of questions:
- Can you please provide the upgrade log for apt and dpkg so we see
which packages were involved and in particular if we are talking
about a dkms module failing to build. check /var/log/apt/term.log*
and /var/log/dpkg.log* for the given upgrade.
- Please provide as well the list of installed packages, though the
first item here would be helpful.
- Please provide full kernel log after the update, ideally for both
before the kernel update and reboot and as well for the booted
kernel after the update.
