I tried booting the previous kernel 4.15.0-101 and it seems to be the same : in grub I select the 4.15.0-101 kernel, press enter, a message "Loading initrd..." is printed but nothing else happens. Tried even older kenrel 4.4.0-184-generic : same problem, "Loading initrd...", and nothing happens. I managed to boot a 4.4.0-142-generic, but bluetooth and wifi are non- functionnal. I mounted the /boot partition from a USB rescue drive, and it seems that all the initrd images that got updated this morning are not bootable anymore : - initrd.img-4.15.0-106-generic - initrd.img-4.15.0.101-generic - initrd.img-4.4.0-184-generic I tried regenerating the images with update-initramfs but it's the same : "Loading initrd" message but nothing happens.
