Update Instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.15.0-1075-gke     5.15.0-1075.81
  linux-image-5.15.0-1077-gcp     5.15.0-1077.86
  linux-image-gcp-lts-22.04       5.15.0.1077.73
  linux-image-gke                 5.15.0.1075.74
  linux-image-gke-5.15            5.15.0.1075.74

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.15.0-1077-gcp     5.15.0-1077.86~20.04.1
  linux-image-gcp                 5.15.0.1077.86~20.04.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
