解决思路

回退内核到之前的版本
1.查看当前系统拥有的内核版本

dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
#output:
linux-image-5.15.0-67-generic                   install
linux-image-5.4.0-100-generic                   install

2. 查看当前系统使用的内核版本

uname -r
#output
5.15.0-67-generic

3. 查看内核完整信息

if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
  menuentry_id_option="--id"
  menuentry_id_option=""
export menuentry_id_option
menuentry 'Ubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {
submenu 'Advanced options for Ubuntu' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {
        menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 5.15.0-67-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-5.15.0-67-generic-advanced-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {
        menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 5.15.0-67-generic (recovery mode)' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-5.15.0-67-generic-recovery-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {
        menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 5.4.0-100-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-5.4.0-100-generic-advanced-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {
        menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 5.4.0-100-generic (recovery mode)' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-5.4.0-100-generic-recovery-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {

4. 找到自己想回退的内核版本(不带 recovery mode 那个)，例如

menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 5.4.0-100-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-5.4.0-100-generic-advanced-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00' {

5. 根据grub版本修改/etc/default/grub

• grub版本大于等于2.00

  sudo vim /etc/default/grub
  # 修改`GRUB_DEFAULT=xxx`成以下内容：
  GRUB_DEFAULT=gnulinux-advanced-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00>gnulinux-5.4.0-100-generic-advanced-9673a4ed-1d23-492e-b385-018813d0ba00
  

• grub版本小于2.00

  sudo vim /etc/default/grub
  # 修改`GRUB_DEFAULT=xxx`成以下内容：
  GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu，Linux 5.4.0-100-generic"
  

• 更新并重启

  sudo update-grub
  sudo reboot
  

6. 查看当前系统使用的内核版本

uname -r
#output
5.4.0-100-generic

番外-安装指定版本内核

# 例如 5.8.0-50
sudo apt install linux-image-5.8.0-50-generic
