When I install it on VMware and reboot, it doesn't boot.

hello.
After completing my first installation of Linux Mint on VMware and running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and then rebooting, I found that it causes a kernel panic, specifically GRUB is broken. I suspect this is due to a mismatch between the appropriate update and the kernel version.

I tried both partitioning and deleting from all disks, and both caused kernel panics. I think I won't be able to use Mint for the time being and will move to another Linux.

Notice: Updating Package with mint OS's built-in update manager does not cause a kernel panic.
However, as soon as I finished installing mint os, I found that when I ran sudo update & upgrade in terminal, the kernel and GRUB were corrupted. I am not sure if this is a bug or a problem caused by a version mismatch, as I do not have much knowledge about linux. If you happen to see this, it seems like a simple check is needed.

1. Prepare your VM to start up with EFI.
2. Install Linux Mint, letting it format your entire virtual disk itself.
3. Restart your VM on the installed Linux Mint before installing updates with mintupdate.
