Beurt@ubuntu it is pretty crazy that a 3-month-old #Noble #LTS bug that creates a kernel panic at boot time for so many people (all people with #VirtualBox installed) is not yet corrected.
The #kernelpanic cannot be understood by common users (the update fails with an incomprehensible message, and sets in grub the faulty kernel as default boot for the next reboot).
The bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/2136499
A solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2141741 (why is it not deployed?)
