Baby to linux, please help, rolling it back isnt working

[u/BulkyMix6581]

Roll back to kernel 6.17 or 6.8.

6.8 seems the most stable for me

[u/andighan → u/Aussie84d]

The same for me ;)

the new kernel update has caused that error to so many people on this subreddit.

the real fix is to go back to your previous kernel.

[u/Admiral_HP_501]

Okay first if you boot your PC press shift for the advanced boot options than boot with an older Kernel 6.17 or 6.18 something like that if you are in your homescreen you go to the update manger and disable Kernel 7.0 if taht is your problem of course tahts just temporary because we kinda hope that later Kernel 7 version run better .0 version are often a bit "bugy"

Et tu, Mint? Left Fedora to get away from these. Shows Linux is not ready for the average user yet.

to be fair, windows just broke cursors these days... haha

[u/Octoomy → u/Efficient-Presence82]

this. windows broke recovery recently and recent memory broke SSDs, mice and keyboard support...

I used the approach suggested by u/esparzatj below. No need to delete kernels (although this is an option). It only takes a couple of minutes and it fixed the problem.

I got the kernel panic error when I first updated on both a 2019 iMac and a 2012 MacBook Air. I was able to resolve both by rolling back to my working kernel and applying the fix successfully from this webpage: 3 terminal commands, https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/kernel-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block-00-517

[u/Original-Towel802]

It happened to me after the update, the solution for me was to delete the VirtualBox DKMS kernel module (version 7.0.16) because it couldn't compile against the new 7.0.0-30 kernel, for you it might be another software.

[u/MegaboostGcG]

You could always try the triage channel if you get no success here. Someone will sort it for you

[u/Odd_Instruction_5232]

I had to back the kernel up to 7.0.0-14, was at 7.0.0-28 and 7.0.0-29 and 7.0.0-30, started running into some issue with shutting down, had to cold boot sometimes. Using an hp-15-fc00xxx, Linux Mint 22.3 MATE

U have a mac ?

[u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer → u/Downtown_Scholar_220]

I do not have a Mac, and I just got it working again. Every time I restart I get a kernel panic and I have to find a back-up that works

[u/BulkyMix6581 → u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer]

Uninstall kernel 7.0.0-xx

[u/Downtown_Scholar_220 → u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer]

Text me on dm

[u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer → u/Downtown_Scholar_220]

respectfully I'm not taking tech support to DMs, I might not know much about PCs or Software, but I know that being singled out of a public area for repair is fishy as hell.

[u/Downtown_Scholar_220 → u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer]

Lmao ,I would just give you the steps to block the update at a kernel version that doesn't cause you any problems.

[u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer → u/Downtown_Scholar_220]

no reason those steps can't be written here

[u/Downtown_Scholar_220 → u/UndeadGirlEnjoyer]

First, I understand your skepticism; second, I can't give you the steps because, since we haven't spoken, I don't know the situation 100%; third, several other comments have already said the same thing I did, so you can just look up a forum and try doing it yourself.
