System won't boot after Kernel update

Hi,

I’m unable to update to any other Kernel than the currently running 5.15. I hoped that the recent LTS release 6.1 would work, but unfortunately I’m also stuck at reboot here. Could find the following in the Kernel log:

Thanks in advance.

with update you actually mean switching to a different kernel than the 5.15?
try adding the ibt parameter, since you have nvidia+intel system, and try again booting with the 6.1

Yes, with an update I meant switching to a newer kernel. Your suggestion worked for me, thank you very much for all the efforts you put into the forum. I stumbled upon many answers from you while searching for similar boot issues :+1:
