I've had similar issues with kernel updates crashing my distro, turns out the problem was usually a misconfigured module or driver that just needed to be blacklisted or updated. Have you tried removing recently installed packages or checking for any conflicts with your current hardware?

Yeah, this happened to me last week, ended up being a compatibility issue with my nvidia drivers. Had to blacklist them temporarily and then reinstall the new version once I figured out what was going on. Definitely check your kernel logs for any errors related to your hardware drivers.

I had the same issue with my Ubuntu install after the last update, turned out it was a compatibility problem with an old Nvidia driver. Updating the driver to the latest version fixed the crashes for me, might be worth a shot for you too. Have you tried booting into a previous kernel to see if that resolves the issue?

I'm experiencing similar issues with Ubuntu 22.04 after the latest kernel update, and I solved it by blacklisting the new kernel and rolling back to the previous one. You can try this by running `echo "install grub-pc.old /boot/grub/stage1 ~r ~" | sudo debconf-set-selections` followed by `sudo grub-update`.
