Dell systems recently got BIOS updates. My newest Dell system did a 2-step
BIOS firmware
update dance. The updates are dated May 22.
" - Firmware updates to address security vulnerabilities including (Common
Vulnerabilities
and Exposures - CVE) such as CVE-2022-0004, CVE-2022-0005, CVE-2022-21123,
CVE-2022-21125, CVE-2022-21127, CVE-2022-21151, CVE-2022-21166, and
CVE-2022-21181"
These might have introduced something in the BIOS that kernels "don't
like". I see a bunch of
driver firmware updates around the same time. If these are problematic
there may be reports for
for other distros.
Thank you, I did not update the BIOS for quite a while, so are you suggesting that I do so
and see? I have not updated the BIOS for a few years actually, and I have forgotten how to
do this for a non-Windows system. I think you do it from the BIOS, through a USB drive and
that can be a .exe file.
So, could my not having updated the BIOS, and the kernel having upgraded, have caused the
issue? I have not had this issue before with multiple updates/upgrades (with lots of
machines) because I do unfortunately forget to check the BIOS all the time.
Best wishes,
