Okay I feel like we coming down the final stretch here! After installing the 5.15 kernel I ran into another issue of not getting past the Asus splash screen. I searched and found this thread and another thread were suggesting I use the command
journalctl --boot=0 --system --priority=3 | tail --lines=50
It returned the following information:
kernel:x86cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS.
kernel: ata4.00: Read log 0x30 page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x40
kernel: usb 1-14: device descriptor read/64, error -71
systemd-modules-load[283]: Failed to find module 'nvidia-uvm'
overlayfs: missing 'lowerdir'
then I tried the other command:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager
kernel: x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS

Any help deciphering what this means would be greatly appreciated.
