(URL: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/12/msg00632.html). Based on your above statements, I should boot my installed Debian using the kernel named linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 (the version prior to the buggy one). Next in a terminal I should either (1a) sudo apt remove linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 or (1b) sudo apt purge linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 (1a) or (1b) will remove the metapackage linux-image-amd64, yes/no? (2) sudo update-grub (3) sudo shutdown -r now Upon reboot, the GRUB menu will automatically boot using linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 as the buggy kernel named linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 has been removed in either (1a) or (1b), am I right? Next in a terminal I typed the following commands: sudo apt update && apt upgrade (Note: The name of the metapackage, linux-image-amd64, will be listed in the terminal.) After upgrading and rebooting my device, my installed Debian will have linux-image-6.1.0-15-amd64 as the latest kernel. Am I right? Best wishes. Stella
