Hi Sly, We do actually test as many dkms builds as we can. Well, mainly all the kernel modules present in the Ubuntu archive, like evdi-dkms.
The trouble starts when you get dkms sources from other places that we don't know about, like the DisplayLink installer that I linked above. You, me, and other users just install it, and forget all about it, until something breaks. The real solution is to get rid of as many out of tree kernel modules as we can. In the case of evdi, a few people have tried, and failed, to get it into the mainline kernel. Upstream aren't interested in tidying it up for inclusion, so it just rots out of tree. Anyway, I am glad that it works for you now.

Safe mode did not work. Booting to previous kernel 6.5.0-17-generic is fine. Errors during failed boot include: ``` VFS Cannot open root device /dev/mapper/vgubuntu-root or unknown-block(0.0) error -6 Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0.0) ``` Trying clean up, I see the following error with the kernel installation: ``` sly@sigil:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 6 not to upgrade. 3 not fully installed or removed.
