As a result, I see this warning every day. So I have an update that was fetched and installed and after a reboot still shows the kernel at p5. I have not dug into determining whether the kernel patch was ot applied or whether the kernel version was not updated, leaving it claiming to be p5 when it was actually p6. I think it's pretty clear that there is a bug somewhere in the update, so I guess it's time for me to open a ticket. At least, as a result of my post I can open it as "affects some people". --=20 Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 --000000000000849c680627258794 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"fon= t-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">hOn Sun, Nov 17, 2024 at 2:00= =E2=80=AFAM Graham Perrin <<a href=3D"mailto:grahamperrin@gmail.com">gra= hamperrin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div></div><div class=3D"gmail_quote"><b= lockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-le= ft:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 16/11/2024 18:45, Kevin = Oberman wrote:<br> > =E2=80=A6 I am baffled.
