Ubuntu: skip kernel 5.13.0-35.40 (5.4.0-103.117 for 20.04 LTS)

AkihiroSuda · AkihiroSuda · commit 2bb156f28104 · 2022-03-11T15:57:47.000+09:00
Ubuntu kernel 5.13.0-35.40 (5.4.0-103.117 for 20.04 LTS) is broken for ARM:
`EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary`

Until the issue gets resolved, it is highly recommended to run
`sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-$(uname -r)` to avoid upgrading the kernel.

See issue 712

+============ ⚠️  March 2022 update of Ubuntu does not work on ARM ⚠️  ============
+Ubuntu kernel 5.13.0-35.40 (5.4.0-103.117 for 20.04 LTS) released in March 2022
+is not bootable on ARM hosts.
+(EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary
+
+Until the issue gets resolved, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to run the following
+command in the Ubuntu shell (NOT the host shell) to avoid upgrading the kernel:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------
+sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-$(uname -r)
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If your kernel was already upgraded and the VM does not boot, try running Lima
+with the following environment variable to show the QEMU video display:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------
+export QEMU_SYSTEM_AARCH64="qemu-system-aarch64 -display %s"
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+After the display is shown, press the Esc key several times to show the GRUB
+prompt for choosing an older kernel.
