Update Instructions

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

Ubuntu 24.10
  linux-image-6.11.0-19-generic   6.11.0-19.19
  linux-image-6.11.0-19-generic-64k  6.11.0-19.19
  linux-image-generic             6.11.0-19.19
  linux-image-generic-64k         6.11.0-19.19
  linux-image-virtual             6.11.0-19.19

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.11.0-1016-oem     6.11.0-1016.16
  linux-image-oem-24.04b          6.11.0-1016.16

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.
